Spam, Too Much Of It

While many of my blogger pals get away without even implementing anti-spam techniques like CAPTCHA, I suffer from a daily truckload of spam. For example, in the short period since I shifted to WordPress in April till today, the spam filter on my blog has blocked around 110+ spam comments. People like Prashanth on the other hand, have only got 110+ or so spam comments in TWO YEARS. So I’m getting ten times more spam in two MONTHS than him. And that’s just one example. Everyone else I know who blogs – Naman, Vivek, Anuj, Abhishek – pretty much everyone seems to be immune huge amounts of spam. Why me? :p And to top it off, WordPress’ spam filtering system ALWAYS flags my comments on others blog as spam. Go figure.
