Hi,
Thanks for your response.
I am currently running Wordpress on my site. I get about 2000 visits/day with tons of spammers and robots on top of this. The only plug-ins that I have found to be intelligent and adaptive enough to handle the amount of spam I get are Bad Behavior and Akismet. Static protection such as IP blockers and captchas are just wholly inadequate.
Since it takes a lot of work to get a site up and going and rather easy for a spammer to bring it down (by loading the site up with garbage), I have to take a proactive stance myself. That is, I can't afford to learn by repeating past mistakes. I know, from my own experiences, that I need a plugin such as Akismet, that is constantly learning about new spammers, and a product such as Bad Behavior to stop robots at the door. These are excellent solutions and are very popular with many
CMS and Wiki products.
