Flux CMS DevBlog

Lately, we're again swamped by comment and trackback spam. As (almost) nothing gets through the spam filter, this isn't so bad per se and people using Flux CMS with the default options won't notice anything.

But if you allowed to be notified about "rejected" comments, you'll maybe get dozens of notification-mails a day. You can easily turn that off, go to the Site Options and search for "blogSendRejectedCommentNotification" and set that to "No" and there will be silence (except for the odd "Moderated" comment here and there. These are mainly trackbacks, which are harder to correctly filter out, but we already get most of them and we work on the rest)

If the above setting doesn't help and you still get way too many messages, please inform us, also with a copy of the spam you get. We try hard to improve our anti-spam techniques.

I don't really get any, the spam-filter works very well. Some funny people post their links into the contact-form, but thats maybe two a week, i can handle this ;)

ich hab auch 2 blogs am laufen. für wordpress gibts mittlerweile einige nette plugins die spam auch gut filtern.
das traurige ist, dass die spamcomments sczhon alle automatisch generiert werden und nicht mehr handisch gespammt wird. daher auch die große flut an spam notifications.
