My lowly little web site turned into a comment spammers paradise last Sunday. I had to delete over 500 comments that ranged from completely irrelevant to the site to downright disgusting. I had tried the Drupal module "bad behavior", but ended up somehow locking myself out of my own site. I'm sure that was due to some newbie mistake on my part, but I turned off the module. I remembered reading a series of posts from D'Arcy Norman about his success installing Akismet on his Drupal site. I am happy to report that I, too, have had great success with Akismet. Since last night, it properly filtered legitimate comments and unpublished over 45 comments that even made me blush. Thank you, Akismet!!
