Spammers: 1, Readers: 0
If you’re reading this or any of the other posts, and would like to comment, I have to apologize to you. Getting a sea of daily blogspam is no fun, and forcing people to register is the best I could come up with.
Edit: Per Luke’s recommendation, I’ve installed 2 anti-spam plugins which means that you shouldn’t need to register to comment.

I use Akismet + Bad Behavior plugins, and so far it seems to keep most of spambots at bay.

Hey Luke, that’s a great idea. I just installed those two plugins, hopefully that will do it. Thanks!

Glad to help. :) Akismet by itself is really good at filtering spam. I have been using it for months now, and I only had 1 or 2 comments slip through.
But since I installed Bad Behavior, the spam barrage essentially stopped completely.

It’s working great! I haven’t had a single spam comment since I’ve installed those plug-ins. Thanks Luke.
