Figure It Out, Akismet

Dear Akismet,

Why don’t you understand that this:

Actually i am not an active serfer, but this this site is really great, i will spread it through my friends.

is comment spam. I’ve recieved at least a dozen of these same comments, and you ask me to moderate them because you’re not sure if they are really spam. I can tell that they’re spam with a simple glance—i don’t even have to read them.

For that matter, if i get more than one comment with identical text, it’s almost certainly spam. Especially if the emails and URIs are all different.

I think you’re cool and all, Akismet, but you really need to step your game up.

    Hey, Akismet, here’s one more for ya:

    I always have terrible trouble with comment-related plugins that require me to put some line in the comment loop; I can never seem to find the right spot. Can anyone tell me where I should put the php line in my comments loop? I haven not modified anything much, and I would be very grateful. Thanks!

    I’m marking that as spam. I don’t want to see it again.
