I couldn’t understand some parts of this article Yourself First | :: Interesting Observations ::, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.

    huh? There are tons of messages from him and what amazes me is that he takes the time to write that message and never forgets to include that smiley at the end either!

    He really doesn’t care how mad he makes me, as long as he (or she) tells me how happy he is!!

    And of course there are other messages caught by Akismet that would otherwise be very annoying to me and you all,, like…..

    ‘hey, nice :)’

    ‘hey, very interesting, this is exactly what I was expecting’

    ‘hi, me too’


    Thanks to this wonderful plugin….

    Whoever invented that plugin does deserve some PayPal love from all of us!! what do you think?

    The comments will be automatic. You can tell as they use the post title in the comments.

    The creator of WordPress has a company named Automattic and they created Akismet. I hear they are about to release a version for email aswell

    pearl

    @Glen – comments are automatic meaning? so there isn’t a human sitting somewhere in a garage or a basement typing these?

    Oh that email version would be really nice!! although gmail has quite nice spam filter! I haven’t experienced any of those emails coming to my inbox… although Outlook still sucks at that!

    I am fine Kaylee.. thanks…

    You’re not the only one who’s been receiving his spam – Lucia (creator of the Linky Love plugin, and a couple others) has mentioned Daniel’s comments in the past – http://money.bigbucksblogger.com/daniel-spam/

    You also might want to remove the links that were made when you posted the article, which link to the spam site…

    Sephyroth

    pearl

    @Sephyroth – thanks for the advice :-) I hadn’t thought about me linking to the spam site by doing so!!

    and I just read that article by Lucia … it’ll be a nice development in the new version, and I should install the linky love too I guess!

    somehow your comment again got caught by akismet! have no idea why… ill have to look into it

    I have to say, that I could not agree to having this guy whacked, but I do think he should:

    a). Seek some professional help, immediately
    b). Have his computer privileges revoked, forever
    c). Get a life, other than his own
    d). Not be allowed to marry, not be allowed to have children
    e). Have forgone the lobotomy
    f). Never want to meet you in a dark alley

    Akismet is either the best thing since sliced bread – or a bloggers worst enemy.

    That’s because Akismet takes advice from all the other bloggers using it on what is spam.

    Basically you are allowing other bloggers to make a decision for you on what is a legitimate comment VS a spam comment.

    That link Sephy gave you takes you to Lucia who created Lucia’s Linky Love, as you saw. That’s a plugin for do follow blogs where it makes a comment no follow until a commenter leaves a certain amount (set by you) of comments on your blog.

    Unless you are getting an unreasonable amount of spam, I’d turn Akismet off and do your own comment moderation, using something like Linky Love or there’s a couple of other options out there.

    Snoskred :)

    kaylee

    I HATE THAT TOO how are you?

    pearl

    thats good point Snoskred… But I am getting unimaginable amount of spam and if I deactivated Akismet, I’m not sure we’d be able to find legit comments in here :) But I think I need to install additional layer to keep some of unwanted comments out!

    thanks for taking the time to comment Snoskred :) Hope the move is going smooth!! tc and I’ll be in touch!

    Hummmm… That’s scares me ’cause sometimes I write in that way (in this case is because my english is very limited).

    My question here is, maybe introducing CAPTCHA technology within your blog validation can help to kill this kind of spam…

    Also, I guess, there must be people already working on anti-spam comment technology (new niche for software development kiddos! :-)).
