I have been looking for a way to stop the spam comments that sneak into the WordPress blogs I run. I have tried several different ones, but they all have been “not quite what I was looking for”.
It was a relief to read Jeremy’s post where he point’s out a nifty little plugin that stops the perstering of my posts.
The plugin does one simple thing: It closes the posts for comments after 14 days (by default). That should do it I think.
Thanks Jeremy for a great tip 
and thanks to Matt for creating it.

I recently set up another way of preventing spam on my own site, http://www.cjohansen.no. When it comes to beating automated spambots, nothing beats custom protection since the bots are unlikely to be prepared for it.
I read what you did on your blog Christian.
I think I have seen something similar for WP to the math-challenge. Will have a look.
Thanks for the tip though
Hi
I was getting 30 – 40 spam comments every day, it was driving me crazy but I installed the plugin called “SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam” and it stopped .
