Preventing spam comments on your blog

If you have a meme.org.za blog and are receiving spam comments, then it’d be useful for you to implement the anti-spam plugin which is made available to all bloggers.

In order to implement it simply do the following:

  1. Login to the administration dashboard.
  2. Select “Plugins” -> “Installed”.
  3. Find the plugin with the name “SI CAPTCHA Anti-Spam”.
  4. Activate it.
  5. Under the “Plugins” section there should now be a new submenu called “SI Captcha Options”. Select it.
  6. We recommend that the minimum of the “Enable CAPTCHA on the comment form” is enabled (all other options may be disabled if you like).
  7. Now logout and do a test comment on your blog to see how it works. It will require the commenter to fill in a field which has the contents of a randomly generated message. This confuses spam bots and therefore kills all the spam comments on your blog!
