This makes it dead easy to throw out the vast majority of your spam without actually looking at it. You can then sort through the leftovers looking for false-positives. The other nice thing about this plugin is that it automatically bans the offending IP addresses via .htaccess when you delete the associated spams. This is a great tool for spam management, but it doesn’t do that much to reduce your spam load, despite the IP blocking. [...] [...] First off, I installed the Akismet Worst Offenders plugin, which sorts through your spam, aggregates the common offenses into bunches, and then allows you to delete entire classes of spam all at once.

You can read about it here and see a screen shot of what it does (see the release history and download here). This is absolutely one of my favorite plugins now. I absolutely love the fact that I can just quickly see obvious spam and delete it without having to scroll through pages of spam to make sure I’m not losing comments. Cheers to you for making this one! [...] [...] First off, I installed the Worst Offenders plugin done by Rich Boakes.

Have you ever heard of comment spam? Start a blog and you’ll find out what it is - fast. It is a sleazy technique that uses software to take advantage of the open dialog nature of blogs. The software auto-posts irrelevant text comments, stuffed with links, in the comment sections of posts. This plugin will save you hours of clean-up work removing comment spam. I use a modified version of the plugin created by Rich Boakes. This version will automatically create a list of the IP addresses used by the spammers and write them in a ‘deny access list’ in your .htacess file. Any attempts by those computers to access your server get denied. This addition really cuts down on the spam and also the bandwidth used up by spammers searching your site.
