Comment Spam

I’ve been read­ing the Word­Press Sup­port Forums and lately it seems the #1 thing peo­ple are post­ing about is com­ment spam. This con­tin­u­ally sur­prises me as I’ve not had any com­ment spam since I started using Word­Press. I won­der if the com­ment spam­mers are afraid of a cof­fee drink­ing bear or some­thing?

More likely, I just don’t get enough traf­fic to make it worth their while to spam me or I’ve got enough anti-spam plu­g­ins installed that I never see any­thing that they’re try­ing to do.

    It took a while, but I’ve finally been get­ting com­ment spam. Even fun­nier? Today (almost a year after this post was writ­ten), I got com­ment spam on this post! :)
