Akismet Alternatives: CleanTalk

Akismet Alternatives: CleanTalk

We hate spam at Foliovision. Enough to have written a very effective anti-spam plugin ourselves. Our FV Antispam is on use on more than 4000 websites right now. If you like or use Akismet, FV Antispam works great. It can radically reduce your Akismet costs by cutting down on the amount of requests you send to Automattic, making an agency license go much farther (monthly limit, 100K checks).

FV Antispam also can speed up your site and lower server load as it processes machine spam locally. We also make sure that machine spam goes directly to trash so you don't have to waste time checking it manually (too many comments in a spam folder makes it impossible to evaluate any of them properly).

Akismet Error Code 10003: How to avoid forced upgrade

Akismet Error Code 10003: How to avoid forced upgrade

Automattic and Akismet have a big drive on now to force people to upgrade their existing Akismet subscription. We've been paying Akismet for four years now and sometime even we are now seeing warnings like this one on our own websites. Our clients are seeing them as well (even when using their own key).


Akismet usage warning

Of course, we don't mind paying Automattic/Akismet something but we don't really want to pay more than we are now.

Email addresses stolen from Adobe in October in spammers’ hands now

Email addresses stolen from Adobe in October in spammers’ hands now

Years ago I used to enjoy a service called emailias. Alas it disappeared. What emailias helped its users do was generate throwaway email addresses over which you had permanent control. The system was elaborate and nifty. You can however do something very similar with cPanel. Just set up a throwaway domain on cPanel and then go to the email forwarder setup. Should have a URL something like https://yourdomain.com:2083/frontend/x3/mail/fwds.html

Bookmark that in your browser. When you sign up for a new site, use that bookmark and create a new forwarder something like adobe@yourdomain.com for each site for which you signup (you could use a different name but it makes it more difficult to track to whom you gave the name and we all want to KISS, don't we?).

Is Microsoft paying comment spammers to promote Bing?

Why are comments spammers out there promoting Bing.com with the anchor text "search engines"? Even stranger, with Gmail return addresses.

Linked In will spam you to death: they never release email addresses

LinkedIn claim a bug in their system which is not releasing email addresses that were entered at one time and later removed.
