@ Charles Yang – Your comment actually dropped into my spam box. LOL.

LOL, you have a great sense of humor!

Anyway Akismet has not failed me yet but I’ll consider doing the same if too many spams get through.

@ Infectioner – Thanks man.

@ Forest – Yeah you’re good. At least I know you exist! Just trying to keep the stupid spammers away.

@ Alex Smith – Hey, thanks.

I really love the new direction you have taken this blog in Desmond…

Good stuff!

Hey Desmond, good stuff…. I always try and make sure that I give my real name so I am good, I think

@ Dennis Edell – Yeah, regular commentators can use keywords. No problem with that.

Just to keep those spammers away.

Yes, I will be installing the subscribe to comments, dofollow & commentluv plugins soon.

I understand, but it’s going to seriously lower your comment count. Even I have been thinking of switching to Dennis@somekeyword. lol

Oh, will you be reinstating subscribe to comments, do follow and comment luv?

@ Dennis Edell – Previously I received a lot of comments with first name but linked back to some suspicious sites.

This is for the quality of this blog’s purposes.

Yeah I agree with the IP ban but I used to be getting the same spam comments that got through Akismet from one same IP that totally pissed me off.

Demanding a first name is fine, I do it too, but demanding a last name also?

Also you may wish to rethink the IP ban as you will be baning perhaps several hundred each time.
