As this is my first comment post to this site, (most of the time I have just commented on Howard’s page) I will say I don’t care what you guys do as far as moderating or such as long as you keep up the great podcasts you have been doing.

I use both Askismet and Spam Karma 2 and the one-two punch has knocked out everything so far. Askismet is great, but adding spam karma cleaned up the rest that would go into moderation or in rare occasions make it through.

It’s not perfect, but it’s worked pretty well on a blog a friend and I have - though, we probably don’t get the traffic you do.

there are other options too, as Howard mentioned, though.

We’ll all survive with moderated comments - I just hope you guys do as well.

I’ve been using Akismet on the Schlock Mercenary blog. Lots of the bots can get past Captcha.

Ya I’m probably going to add CAPTCHA, I have to ask though since I know some of the WE team don’t care much for them.

Howard doesn’t have a real job either. That slacker.

This is WordPress, right? install this plugin-

it’ll cut down on teh spam and let you take off moderation.
