Controlling Spammers – a response to a user question by Mark Magill
By Mark Magill on May 30, 2016 in Uncategorized
Someone recently asked me how I control spammers on this site. To go into complete details would probably result in my spam-removal routines being defeated, but I will say this much: If you’re having trouble with spammers, start by using Askimet. You’ll need a free usage-key, and will have to add it as an accessory, plug-in, or tool – depending on what your blog software calls add-ons. This one add-on alone will help you a lot. Beyond that, just do a Google search for “Best spam prevention for <your program name> +free” The “free” on the end is to find free ones… 🙂 No sense paying if someone is willing to donate one.
Sadly, the only other solution is to make your blog READ-ONLY, as I have. I don’t like it that way, but -every- time I have done so they just took over everything…. maybe sometime that will change. Anyway, I hope this has been helpful.
IF you have an article you’d like to share here (Christian devotional or other feel-good type story) just send them to mailbox99@wordforlife.com – and thank you! -Mark Magill, webmaster, wordforlife.com
