Greetings to all!
I'm curious to know your ways of avoiding those wretched spam bots! Have you had the misfortune of being over run with them? Share with us your experience, and what you had done, or what your doing to combat it. Tell us the tips and tricks to keeping our websites clean of pesky varmints, and critters!
I'm hoping this thread will help others figure out the best ways to avoid having problem or at least be able cope with it a bit better.
I'll start it off by explaining what I do to avoid spam.
I make sure I:
Activate my Akismet plug-in, as it provides a protective shield over my sites.
Moderate my comments myself, and check them ofter. THIS is important, as you want to make sure the comments are spam, but checking them often ensures the search engine bots won't crawl the text either.
Have a captchacode for my subscriber form on your website, and have them verify their subscription through email.
I haven't been over run by spam yet, and I hope to avoid it. How about you? What are you doing currently? What have you done in the past? Tell us your stories about SPAM!
