Comment spam out of control

[fabriziop]

I'm using latest verison of PixelPost, I was wondering how we can stop the comment spam? The only thing I see is a Captcha script in the extend section which is from 2007 and seems to not even be in use by the author. Just wondering because I got 30+ spam comments last night, 15 the day before, and it just seems to be growing..

thanks for any help

ps. I use moderation now but this in my opinion is not a good enough solution.

first idea is to use the built-in spam control features, most effective is the TOKEN.
Read about it here:

Additionally I suggest using either Akismet or Defensio filter

for me the best way is to use the script found in warm horizon template by theturninggate
http://www.projectseoul.com/downloads/readme.html

you put "functions_comments.php" in your includes folder

you have to edit in the following line "telephone" by "surname" or any word you want
if (strlen($_REQUEST['surname']))

and in your template add this to your comment code and change the input name

<!-- SPTrap -->
<div id="sptrap" style="display:none;"><input class="input" type="text" name="surname" value="">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <label for="surname">ecris rien</label></div>
<!-- /SPTrap -->
IMPORTANT: you have to change sometimes the input name when you get some spam

I am getting completely overwhelmed by SPAM. I have Defensio enabled but it seems to do nothing.

I have enabled the <TOKEN> tag but I'm not sure where in the "image__template.html" file to put it. Also, I cannot find the "comments_template.html" file anywhere. I'm using the Delicious v1.1 template.
