Once again, thanks for this tip. I found almost a dozen real comments or ping backs in there, but I guess its better than allowing thousands of spammy comments.

Good tip – I check my spam filter daily. I would say every three or four days a legitimate comment gets caught. Akismet is still well worth having though!

I used to check my spam comments, but if you have 200 to scroll through and some are 50 lines long each, it’s tough to have the patience to do so.

I always skim through my list.. even when i have 250+ spam at once. Every once ina while you get a valid thing getting caught there.

i kid…i kid!
see here in the US we’re forced to buy rx drugs online bc our health care system is crap and because our doctors prescribe so many drugs to take care of symptoms, people have to pay thru the roof to pretty much stay afloat. (people don’t just market junk drugs online, they market drugs ppl really need. they just have to SPAM the useless ones…) you know, i actually got rejected from Kaiser Permanente health care because on my application i claimed that i have back pain. they said straight up that they don’t accept anyone with ANY previous health problems. WTF?!?!?!?!?!

I’ve been checking my Akismet too lately, and found a few that are not spam! I hope it learns.

Who’s clicking the links? Just looking at the repeated “cialis”, “amphetamine” and “hot naked porn” spam comments is making me crazy.

…well, maybe not the hot naked porn.

Seriously, I had no idea there were this many prescription drugs that people wanted to buy over the internet. There’s crap in there I’ve never even heard of.
