Another step in my never-ending adventures against comment spammers. I have been using NoSpamNX for quite some time with very good success. Well, at least I didnt hear about someone failing to comment. However, in the past few days, someone on the spammer side, figured out what NoSpamNX is doing. Now I have a slew of new spam messages coming in.
So , I am trying to switch…AGAIN. This time to Bad Behavior. It looks cool, but I don’t know if it will past muster. I am so hesitant to put a CAPCHA or other human detection thing into the comments. I hate the effect they have on the experience. Mollom has been gone for a while. Akismet isn’t worth anything. I am always willing to try new things.
Man, I hate a world where spam is an unwinnable battle.

What a never ending battle. Have you tried http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cookies-for-comments/ yet?
I haven’t. Do you like it?
Knock on wood, I’ve been lucky so far, Akismet is doing it’s job well. I had seen that plugin announcement come through my RSS recently and thought of it when I saw your post.
