For the first time ever I created my own plugin. Starting out as a hacking attempt, it quickly changed into a prototype plugin.
What it basically does is list the articles that haven’t been read yet by a logged in user. Whenever a change to the post is made or a new comment is posted, the post moves to the top of the unread list.
In the first few weeks of my website’s existence, the spam machine left my website alone. But as soon as my site got linked on various webpages around the world. The spam started to slip in. Online casinos, free slot machines and oh-so-hot girls.
There had to be something to quickly protect my site against spam. I know captcha works quite well, but the problem with captcha is that users always have to read unreadable images. These impossible captchas annoy the hell out of me, so that was out of the question.
I know Wordpress has a nice plugin called Akismet which is filtering spam quite good. I’ve been using it for some time on my DS article site, and it has been filtering a lot of spam.
