Comments on: Deactivate Your Spam Shields For One Day ? http://planetozh.com/blog/2007/12/deactivate-your-spam-shields-for-one-day/?source=rss A bit of my personal life, mainly focused on my kids. A bit of code, mainly focused on Wordpress and PHP. Overall, bits of nothing in particular.

Of course it doesn't get through, but it's there, in the Akismet folder, and I don't like it. Why? I get much fewer spam comments to take care of if I disable it. I have tried this many times, Akismet is not for me. Instead I used the moderation queue if a comment had links and I just got few each month instead of many each day. But now I use reCaptcha so I don't have to think about spam comments or that Akismet folder, they dont get through. I don’t like Akismet.

There are, of course, better ways of doing this that don't involve public humiliation. For example, why not show appreciation for your favorite anti-spam plugins by writing an informative post and shelling out a link or two. That way, the plugin authors get a lttle love, your blog remains spam free, and spammers can go eat a bowl of dick up. Yet another pathetic attempt at attracting attention.
