I'm so fucking sick of this shit. Almost every f'n day, I get about 100 or so spam posts, all regarding online poker. To those who also have blogs, are you guys having the same problem? If so, what's the solution?

I guess I should be specifically addressing JackFrost since I know he also uses WordPress, but I don't think he really ventures to the OT. Somebody mind getting him here for me? Thanks.

And no, this is not some cheap ploy to hit my site.

Nope, it's the new scourge of the internet... ENJOY!

Wordpress sites are getting slammed hard. Wordpress' wiki has some plugin options. I usually just do a mass edit and search for key words. I had about 300 today. Bastards.

I won't be up that late. Mind bumping this thread for me when he is around? Thanks.

I'll let him know you were looking for him.

I use a WP plugin called SpamWordBlock (http://wordpress.org/support/10/16755) which stops spam BEFORE it enters the moderation queue, as it should. Between than and judicious addition/modification of the spam words list (you don't want to ban "online," but "-online" and "online-" are fine), I get prolly less than 10 a week at this point. Still a nightmare, however.

upgrade to WP 1.5. It helped a lot.

I moved from MovableType to LiveJournal :lol
I guess my domain hardly gets used now, but at least I don't get spam and I can restrict my entries to friends only.

Thanks for the info.

Perhaps I should clarify myself: I really don't admin the site myself, a friend handles that. He told me that he's already tried some plug-ins and the such, but they don't work. I figured I should ask around here for some specific suggestions which I could then pass to him. So I appreciate all the advice.

You bring up a good point. I know Fennec Fox has his blog on LJ, but it's also it's own separate thing. How is that done anyhow? Was it a LJ to begin with, then was made "separate", or vice versa? I'd love to know; being both it's own thing and part of a LJ community has it's own advantages, and he seems to have the best of both worlds.
