I found this fascinating quote today:
WordPress’s spam filter automatically weeds out about 200 spam comments daily on this blog, but at least another 20 get through. I’ve resorted to using a blacklist to fight spam. What WordPress does is to mark comments as spam if it sees those blacklisted words, or words that contain those words. For example, you might list down ‘taste’ as a blacklisted word. Then any comment containing ‘taste’, ‘tasteful’ and ‘distasteful’ will be flagged as spam. You can download my list of spam words here. Simply paste those words into WordPress’s comment blacklist feature and you should see a drop in the number of spam comments getting through to your blog. This list is by no means exhaustive. It was shared with me by a friend, so feel free to add more words to the list and share with others..alexchoowk, WP Text Ads Blog, Jul 2008
