Getting a lot of spam that requires moderation since switching to intense debate. They are supposed to be running it through akismet filters, but they must have it set to a lower threshold because before when it was akismet through wordpress most of this crap would automatically be sent to spam folder.

The other thing that may be possible that is the javascript interface is making it easier for the spammers.

So I noticed that a good portion of this wordpress spam is now coming from kaboodle.com. The spammers are using a url shortening service relurl.com that doesn’t have a method for blacklisting people. Thinking about adding kaboodle to my blacklist.

Maybe I just had it configured differently. I spent a good deal of time screwing with intense debate trying to get it configured properly.

I also noticed a crap load of spam via trackbacks since installing intense debate. If I could cut down the trackback spam it would eliminate most of the spam. I don’t see a way to do this. I have enabled “must be intense debate user” to see if that helps.

Intense debate spam filter suxors!
