All straight through for moderation though, none slipped through to the posts.

In other news I got tons of Viagra, and porn to view now. LOL!

I am the same.. apart from overnight spam, nothing sits on a page for longer than 1/2 hour. Generally the stuff in moderation is cleared in the same period.

I wonder whether Akismet uses this in some way… not so much our active blogs, but the retired blogs that due to inactivity are fundamentally condoning the presence of the comment

Well that and the smarter ones… that might just be comments…

“Nice Blog”
“Tell me more”
“I heard this ws the place to come for big balls of Gnome”

Spammers like one the commenters mentioned above love to target “old” posts for some I’ll reason. As well if you don’t moderate your site to some degree then your blog is open season for other spammers to spam your comments heavily,

I used to one time and it kinda varies a bit during the year.

Any comment any post over 5 days old is auto moderated to catch spam. All spam is removed on new post within 12 hrs if not immediately. All comments are immediately send to my mobile device which I check often. As such spam life if it’s on a comment is immediately removed. I take great care of my blog as it relate to spam and comments.

Needless to say spamis not a issue for me at this point.

They’re especially targeting a couple of old posts. Over and over and over again. I keep taking it away and I have no idea of what I can do apart from that.
