I’m sorry, but as a Norwegian I’ve got to bring up the “ææ - øø Åå”. Sometimes, when a Norwegian believes it’s in its natural online habitat, it will sometimes shout out characters that only his species will understand. For other people, it may sound like a bird puking its guts out on its children, but it ain’t. It’s a cry for company, and a sad one as well.

Akismet has a whole chapter on “Sigg3.net Wording”, because I’ve been filling up their filters since [insert year].
Why don’t you use re-captcha? It puts the Geoff in Lion!

Koew, thanks for the explanation! I really needed one.
Sigg3- What the heck is re-captcha? I guess I need even MORE help here…

Personally I’d still use Akismet even though it’d sometimes slip a spam message through. Having a captcha-input is usually annoying and I believe it reduces the usability somewhat.
Read about reCAPTCHA here.

Thanks! I guess I don’t mind seeing a spam message here and there. I mean, it really feels good to read: “Your Web Site is really wonderful and I bookmarked it”.

What’s great about re-captcha is that you’re actually helping to digitalize classic works of literature.
What’s so terrible about it is that it’s effin’ hard to input (I’m often mistaken as a bot).

Bad behaviour and Akismet work great together, even on Invisible Movement, which has had about 30 000 spams so far.
Now, let’s recycle the rest…
