Fighting spam

[fredxeric]

What is the best way to fight spam?

I get tones of spam since 1 week, I just don't know how to fight them to no received the comment's spam post to my site. Defensio did the job of not showing them on the site but I still get e-mail






I have eanble token and defensio but I would like to know How ca I block ip or hostname to come to my site?

I just got 13 in a row and it is not finish...

This is what I have since 1 week...

Make sure you have the latest version of the Defensio addon. The latest version won't e-mail you the comments that are flagged as spam.
So your inbox will say clean and tidy.

Fred-eric:

Open the front_defensio.php, goto line 135. if it says:

PHP Code:

global $pixelpost_db_prefix; 


replace with:

PHP Code:

global $pixelpost_db_prefix,$cfgrow;

I don't know about other methods, but it's more than 2 weeks now since I don't know what spam is (God bless!!). What I did (worked on image_template.html) :
- in the <form> line I've replaced "index.php?x=save_comment" with "index.php?x=saIwantNoSpamcomment";
- after <form> line I've added <TOKEN>
- after </form> line I've added this script:

<script type="text/javascript">
trueAction = "index.php?x=saIwantNoSpamcomment";
trueAction = trueAction.replace(/IwantNoSpam/g, "ve_");
document.forms.commentform.action = trueAction;
</script>

Instead of "IwantNospam" you can put whatever string you want, as I did in my template.

PS. I keep akismet/defensio disabled and it's all clean. I'm thinking to enable immediate publishing...
