Improved Spam Catcher

Hey Gang,

So tonight we had a slight spam spike but we quelled the attack. We have added some extra anti-spam support to our system. We are now using Akismet, Antispam, and a new improved in-house spam catcher. We are continuously making improvements to our spam catcher to avoid further issues. If you are still experiencing any spam shoot us a message @ help@disqus.com .

Sorry for any inconvience,

Giannii

    A good anti-spam support is essential as users who are badly affected by it, will definitely not hesitate to change their comment systems immediately and hence the bad reputation. I am new to Disqus and felt that spams are of moderate rate or close to none. Worth the praise by other commenters.

    Anti-spamming software is really important. I hope I don't experience it that often

    Agree to what replica has said. Glad that you have taken a step up in maintaining it.

    It's infuriating to receive spams every now and then. Good to have it improved.

    When we were writing The Power of Nice, we uncovered many facts on how nice behavior can benefit your life.
  • Spam is really a nuisance. Keep watching over them and outsmart them.
  • it would be nice to have an option to add nofollow as I'm getting a lot of worthless comments just for spammers to add their links.
  • Yes, good riddance to spammers!

  • We are already seeing improvements in our spamming problems since implementation of Disqus on our blog. In the past, we receive spam comments every single day but since Disqus came into the picture, we manage to reduce it to once every few weeks.
