After some deliberation, and seeing others, I decided to leave the commenting section on my blog un-moderated. Today I was mildly surprised to find almost all my posts had a comment to it. Surprise quickly turned to disgust to see that I have been spammed by a moron spammer. They badly wanted to link from my site and so there it goes.

I would not allow my blog to be polluted by comment spam.

So I went back to comment moderation. I don't have time to go after spammers. But I can moderate the comments once a day and delete the spammers comments, if they are stupid enough to post it.

If you have faced the same problem you can also look at the comment spam manifesto for other ideas.
