Today I found quite nice plug-in for WordPress pretending that it will block at least 90% of the spam attempts. Quite ambitious indeed, but the time will show.
The general idea is that this plug-in adds a stylesheet to your blog’s html source code. When a browser loads that stylesheet a cookie is dropped. If that user then leaves a comment the cookie is checked. If it doesn’t exist the comment is marked as spam.
Installation is just plug-activate-play. Let’s see what will happen.

I think to determine whether this plugin is really effective you have to disable the security code 😉
True, let’s see now how many spam my inbox can take 🙂
Something needs to be done with people using high advanced spamming tools like Xrumer 5.0 This software will spam millions of blogs and forums overnight. How can we stop this?
