Comment Moderation
I’m recently getting tons of comment spam. Until I get some time to investigate the techniques available in WordPress to get rid of it, I will have to moderate comments. I’ll try to look at this in one of the next few evenings.
Update: I’ve also turned off trackbacks for the moment. I’ll figure this out soon.

Hey I’ve been researching this too and here’s a simple thing I’ll be trying: http://www.syndic8.com/~jeff/blog/index.php?p=103
Good luck!

That’s a nice simple trick. I actually upgraded to a more recent version of WordPress and then was able to install Kitten’s Spaminator. So far I’ve had no problems. But I might add something like Jeff Barr’s solution if it starts up again. And for a simple extension, it would be easy enough to choose a few dozen or even a few hundred easy-to-answer questions in a DB table, and randomly pick one.

Interesting and informative, but would make something more on this topic?
