Thanks to my Akismet!

I was not supposed to write about spam comments because it might just give them more notoriety. But I keep seeing the same spammer again and again. Click on the image so that you can see the spammer with the avatar/photo… This is a new way for these spammers to get past the approval system of the bloggers. They have an avatar/photo. Notice they have a sort-of web site. They post a seemingly legit comment. Except that you can see these comments again and again in different posts in your blog.

Don’t be fooled! Spam the comment right away if it gets past your Akismet or other spam eater. Then, delete it. You can even tag the IP of the spammer in your Discussions setting so that WordPress can spam comments coming from the same IP immediately.

Ha! And you think you can get past Akismet? Thank goodness for this wonderful WordPress spam eater!
