Remember Spam?
These days, most of my comments in moderation are in regards to what appears to be some kind of diet pill. I fear even mentioning it for I may be marked as a splog by search engines.
The upgrade of my blogging software went smoothly last night. I even signed up for a WordPress account so that I could get a special key for a new plug-in called Akismet. I just figured it was a new requirement for the moderation of comments that I used before. Apparently, I was wrong. I got a little message when I logged in today.
Akismet has protected your site from 3 spam comments.
It appears that comments are now differentiated between moderation and spam. I can hardly believe it. Now I just have to view them and mark individual ones as “not spam”. No other requirements are necessary on my part in regards to spam. Gone are the days where I would have to mark spam as spam when moderating legitimate comments.
One day, perhaps, I may forget what spam is was.
