I have noticed a massive decrease in the amount of junk and SPAM comments and trackbacks on the site since moving to WordPress. I don’t know if that because it’s harder to generate or that the automated spammers don’t yet know the links to comment yet… which I suppose is more likely the case. Either way, it’s been a good respite and I’m pleased with the overall performance and reliability. Guess I should have done this before.
Really, really recommend activating Askimet or installing SpamKarma 2 (I”ve done the latter). Either one will basically make comment spam and trackback spam a very manageable situation.
