Without using anti-spam plugin(s), you may not know how to detect them and you may not know how to handle them. In fact spammers can target your blog/website easily if you used <em>WordPress.org </em>software.</p><p>Another annoying issue is if you have moderation function on, some commenters may not know that; they may keep sending you the same messages over and over again. How can you avoid all these hassles on you blog/website? The following things listed below can help you improve your comment issues:</p><ul><li>Use <a title="Akismet" href="http://akismet.com/" target="_blank">Akismet</a> to protect your blog/website being spammed. <em>Akismet</em> is an anti-spam plugin which came with your <em>WordPress.com</em> blog as default. It requires an <em>API</em> key to work with. As you can see my blog has caught 91 spams so far from <em>Askimet</em>. It continues to grow&#8230;</li></ul><ul><li>Alternatively use <a title="Dave's Spam Karma" href="http://unknowngenius.com/blog/wordpress/spam-karma/" target="_blank">Spam Karma</a> to protect your blog/website being spammed. <em>Spam Karma</em> is an anti-spam plugin that you can download it Free from <a title="Dave's Spam Karma" href="http://unknowngenius.com/blog/wordpress/spam-karma/" target="_blank">Dave&#8217;s Blog</a>. Some people use both to keep spammers away from their blog/website. I am one of them. See <em>Spam Karma</em> at the bottom of my footer on this blog. Both of them work nicely so far.</li></ul><ul><li>For a full version of <em>WordPress</em> blogs (<em>WordPress.org</em> blogs) only: If you don&#8217;t want your commenters to keep sending you the same message again and again, then you need to present a message to inform them that your moderation is on and tell them no need to keep sending the same message more than once:</li></ul><p style="padding-left: 60px; text-align: left;">(1) Open you <span style="color: #cc66cc;">commenst.php</span> by clicking on <em>Design/Theme Editor/</em><span style="color: #cc66cc;">comments.php</span></p><p style="padding-left: 60px; text-align: left;">(2) Find <code>&lt;input name="submit"</code> (yours may look different than mine) in your <span style="color: #cc66cc;">comments.php</span>; you can hold <em>Crtl</em> and hit <em>F</em> at the same time to open up a search toolbar on the bottom; copy and paste <code>&lt;input name="submit"</code> in the search box to find it</p><p style="padding-left: 60px; text-align: left;">(3) Insert <span style="color: #cc66cc;">&lt;h4&gt;Comment moderation is in use. Please do not submit your comment twice&lt;/h4&gt;.</span> right before <code>&lt;input name="submit"</code>. Here you can change <span style="color: #cc66cc;">h4</span> and <span style="color: #cc66cc;">words inside &lt;h4&gt; </span>to meet your needs.</p><p style="padding-left: 60px; text-align: left;">(4) Make sure you save <span style="color: #cc66cc;">comments.php</span> file</p><p style="text-align: left;">Now go ahead and click on a <span style="color: #cc66cc;">single</span> post to see whether those words showing up at the bottom of your post; right before the <em>Submit</em> button. If you&#8217;ve done right, you should see them there. Like this article? Then don&#8217;t forget to subscribe!
