Did you have auto-aprove comments? AA is a spammers heaven, and they will walk the extra mile if they find that kind of a CMS. Even if you have no-follow links.

Very nice initiative for the spam-fight though. How high is your success rate? Do you use any blueprints for spun comments?
- stevekemp 12y agoI'm not sure what you mean by "auto-approve" - There are plugins for things like wordpress which will junk comments automatically, solely on the result of the test, but others are more fine-grained. (The API does allow whitelisting/blacklisting by IP, etc.) The success rate is pretty fluid but about 80% of comments submitted were judged to be spam today. Whether there are too many false negatives/positives is hard for me to say ..
- matvoz 12y agoAuto-approve - comments in blog show up immediately without moderation or approval. Good luck with fighting spam. There are never enough of you!
