Comment Spam Part 2

I installed and activated a new spam blocking plugin. Interestingly, there is not one spam comment in the WordPress spam folder. However, is this stopping people from commenting? Send me an email or tweet me at @WilliamTeach.

    If this comment goes through, then I determine it is not stopping me from commenting.

  2. Kevin says:

    It IS forcing me to allow the tracker Gigya Socialize to track my movements though. Unless I enable them to do so, it says I have ‘javascript or cookies disabled’.

    Never heard of them before.

  3. Gigya is a plugin that allows socializing. It does a few things, none of them bad.

    Had several comments blocked for spam. Also, using the email link at the top of page didn’t work either-at least for me.

  6. OK, going to shut it off.

    For the email, have to remove the (NOSPAM) from the address

    So far so good for me. As you probably seen as well, no spam has made it through last few days. Don’t pay attention to Kevin. He’s always just playing for attention.

  8. I actually shut it down and uninstalled it, GB. It did truly shut down spam. None seen in the spam que. I have to wonder if it was being stored elsewhere. But, legit comments were not going through, either.

    Meh, we don’t need them. It’s just you and I. Together. Always.

    We don’t need … them.

    aaahhh.. there they are. Lovely spam.
    I tend to like spam, but this flavor is a bit off-putting.
