I agree with you, it is always advisable to remove all traces of wordpress including copyright messages at the bottom and even the version of wordpress in the header file.

It’s pretty messed up the lengths some people go to. I’m a very new WP blogger, so I haven’t had an issue with spam yet. Is it something that builds up over time, as with email spam? (Ie, I have older email accounts that have been around and are much more heavily spammed than the newer ones)

Poster #1’s comment is news to me, is this something I should implement on my own blog? Thanks!

Elliott, here is another way of automated spamming http://mwolk.com/blog/wordpress-automated-comment-spam/, people posting generic content on thousands of blogs.

As far as your case is concerned, its always advisable to remove all traces of wordpress including copyright messages at the bottom and even the wordpress version in header file.

I had a similar problem where i got hundreds of span comments everyday on my blog. And it was getting difficult to approve the original comments because of this. So i added the akismet plugin which now stops spammers from posting links.

But my problem is, these spammers are eating away my bandwidth.
I have three blogs and a forum running on a single host with limited bandwidth. And these link hungry spammers eat all my bandwidth.

Someone please suggest a way out.
Thanks.

Spamming is a problem and we can say a pin in the *** but akismet helps me very much and I can only suggest everyone to use it too (or something similar).

The spammers do add to the traffic to the site which might help with the all powerful google rankings.

So many people leave comment in it. Maybe I should join them too. No comment means you got no follower and other will just not follow you as well.

Yeah.. As we know until this day, a lot of blogger still prefer using Wordpress than the other CMS. So of course, the spammer will targeted WP as their very interested meat to cook! :lol
