How To Stop Comment Spam: One Simple Step
Wouldn’t it be nice if spammers gave us a way to opt-out of their spam blog comments?
Well, some spammers are considerate enough to do that:

How considerate!
To repay the favor, I have left the spammer’s email and IP address, so that you can manually block them through your WP admin panel if you bother doing that.

I’ve actually never seen one like that before. Now can you please post it as a comment so I can click a few of the hyperlinks? I’d like to see some amateur model pic gay street big.
Is there some way to opt *in* to *more* spam via his spam subscription management dashboard? Or maybe let him know that you would like him to sell your contact info to other spammers? Because that would be a terrific value-added spam offering as well. It’s all about giving people choices over their spam, you know.
If the strategy is not to get those links published at all, but simply sucker people into clicking on that link, I’ve got to say that’s quite brilliant. What do you want to bet it works at least some of the time?
@Todd
I’d recommend the “face sitting smothering” link instead. Unfortunately the links are no longer active
@Melanie
I actually went there looking to opt-in for more spam, but much to my dismay, they had no such options. (The free webhost http://www.ueuo.com had actually terminated their account already. Don’t you just hate when that happens?)
To stop the spammer I block their mail id and ip address manually through WP admin panel
nice , but most spammers are there and then gone for ever..so if u block them.. there are hundreds more to take their place…
Lol! That’s a classic.
The spammers never send comments like that to me and I work in adult…perhaps that’s why…
Oh and Todd, once you’ve seen one ‘amateur model pic gay street big’ you’ve seen them all
If we block the ip they can use the proxy then ???
LMAO, I too have not seen THAT before.
I wish I could just set a SPAM bomb and blast all these bastards to the 7th circle of HELL!! Yesterday I had 550 spams in Akismet filter!
Thanks Sucker!

why not found this website from Google Germany with teh most informative and usefull Content.hope wrote mor usefull articles on Internet will come back again
This step is simply elegant. Good post.
Informative site.
Hope more people will be more considerate to others. It’s really annoying to to read all spam messages. Hope spammers do realize that!
Idea is good… but manually? Plz make some easier steps to do that. Thanks in advance to do that
Haven’t seen one of those before.. but I hope those spam comments would stop so I won’t even get to see it!
if possible than plz make easier in understanding and as well as in step also but i like it also u trying to helps to prevent by spammers.
Could you possibly make the steps easier? I really want to try it.
@ anyone who wants the steps to be easier
There is one step, and it was created by the spammer. I have no control over how comment spammers let you opt-out from their spam list, so I can’t exactly change it.
And if you were actually thinking they would let you opt-out for real, and quit spamming you… well… get real.
There’s an old saying… “It’s better to teach a man to fish, rather than give him the fish.” These tips are useful to anyone who wants to fight poverty through finding jobs to earn enough money.
SPAM is the one thing I get fed-up deleting on my blog, however I am very thankful for the Akismet plugin! Without that, then the SPAMMERS would be having a field day over on my blog.
Can SPAM ever be stopped?!
I’ve yet to receive one that tells me how to get off their SPAMMING list! LOL (It’s asking for trouble if you ask me though, so I wouldn’t even visit the link they provided!)
Thanks

What I find amazing the amount of duplicate spam that I receive. Also, I wonder what the possible benefit could be since most filter out spam automatically.
I hate spammers.
I block their mail id and ip address manually
It is not really that difficult to block these spammers from your blog comments. Have their ip address, email as well as domain name. You can block them easily through your admin panel. However, do install a anti-spam plugin to secure your plan. Rif Chia
LMAO
I really hate those spammer. And It is true that I’s hard to block them.
I know most of us hate spammer.. but what can we do to avoid that?
For anyone wanting to stop 99% of comment spam, there are just two plugins you need: Akisment and WP-SpamFree.
More details here:

Spammers are really annoying! I hate them also , hopefully they’ll get tired of spamming! lol
i went to the url but the site is not there anymore!
missed the fun
hahaha I use wp and install akasimet plug in, it’s prove work for me so i didn’t block spammers manualy.
This akasimet really helps me.
Yer it is such a hassle to go through every comment checking if its spam. When you get big you just cant moderate.
There are lot’s of spammer and its really hard to avoid them. I am really sick on checking if is spam.
I hate spammers and I will always be moderating comments on my blog no matter how many I get in the future.

Hello,
I hate spammers and its a big problem but its very simple to block these spammers by simply blocking spammers email and IP address through your WP admin panel.
and what if they have nonstatic ip-adress
@Zobel
The IP address has nothing to do with this…
I agree with Melanie this is just a way to get you to click on a link.
As for these blatant spam comments which are just jibberish and junk I am happy with my Askimet filter it seems to work great at getting all of them out of my moderation box.
well..theres no way to stop them, actually.. So i dont really feel messed up with them.just delete their comment manually since latest wordpress comment management was very easy to use..
You can also add people’s URL to a global black list can’t you?
To stay the spammer I blockade their communication id and ip direct manually through WP admin committee
Haha, that is too good to believe, I mean what are they trying to do?
Are they seriously doing this?That’s good,at least I won’t get spam for such censored stuffs.Thanks!
If you use askimet then what’s the big deal? You don’t have to deal with spam anymore right? I’m kind of new to blogging so forgive me if I sound naive -I am.
Thanks for that!I shall block him on mine. We should compile a list of spammers so that we can avoid them.
This guy is hilarious! One line of actual (phishing) comment and 3 paragraphs of keywords and “introduction”? At least you can’t accuse him of postin “too short comments”.
That is a white hat spammer
Hahaha. That’s actually the first time I’ve ever seen that one. I’ve shoveled through lots of spam in my time and I have never had the pleasure of encountering such a cordial spam message.
Ah-hah…there is integrity in the spammer world after all. What kind of spammer acknowledges their list as a “spam” list.
Learning honesty from a spammer…what’s next…lawyers!
Haha that’s new. It’s good to know that some spammers are considerate enough to give you a “way out”. Actually, its good to know that the company is admitting that they are spamming people.
