Well, I’m still messing around with my blog to try to get it back up to speed. I turned off ReCaptcha and turned on Akismet anti-spam. It’s catching close to 1000 spam comments a day to start with. I’m not sure why so many spammers have decided to attack Planet Manu. Maybe because it’s been around for so many years, I guess.
The potential problem with Akismet is that blogger report that it sometimes tags real comments as spam. If you leave a comment and see a message telling you that your message has been tagged as spam, please contact me and let me know so that I can remove your post from the spam filter. Because this site has adult content, and some of the links that you might post could be to adult content, there is a risk that the spam killer could think you are spamming. We had that problem sometimes with the Literotica newsletter - big ISPs would see it as spam because it had adult content, even though it was a double opt in.
Let me know if you have any problems with the commenting system or anything else on the site and thank you again for reading!
