I find the image captchas sometimes unreadable. I've gotten the word wrong many times when using it! With the maths captchas, it's best to keep it to single digits only eg. 4+8. Don't make it to tricky so your users have to get a calculator. My favourite method is the maths captcha. I find the image captchas sometimes unreadable.

The problem with comment spam though, is even if your visitors don't click on it, it can be really unpleasant and vulgar like hard **** . I don't want my visitors to have to see that when what they really want is to read about search marketing and bs comments are distracting. Luckily we have some great anti-spam tools now.

Just like email filters if you don't pull comments out of the sin bin, it can cause a gradual knock-on effect. Spam Karma, what collective intelligence it uses (an IP gray and blacklist) only places a minor penalty, thus if it wasn't for other factors, the comments would still appear. But spam posts generally trip other filters such as time on page, javascript etc, and you end up with fairly effective control for everything other than manual spam.

It sounds like they block to much. As for Akismet and Spam Karma, does anyone think they get worse over time? I'm not sure if spam is getting smarter or if the plugins are missing more. Just a thought. Thanks for the comments on the Bad Behavior scripts. It sounds like they block to much. As for Akismet and Spam Karma, does anyone think they get worse over time?
