Heheh, that’s a year and four months’ worth of spam on a fairly low traffic site for you. Took me just about two hours and a whole lot of pistachio nuts to surgically strike out all the dirt. The site was running on WordPress 1.0 I believe. First generation stuff!
And of course, the usual bout of WordPress plug-in plugging (pun intended, really). The combination of these two plug-ins have kept one of my sites surprisingly spam-free for a couple of months now.
The awards go to… Wordpress Hashcash and Bad Behavior.
This combination doesn’t guarantee freedom from trackback spam though, but I don’t believe in trackbacks anyway so they’re off everywhere I go.
Plug-ins - just one of the many reasons I use [and promote] WordPress.
