Like many other bloggers, I've been a victim of Blog Comment spam for quite a while. On few occasions, I've totally disabled comments on my blog.
However, isn't that something of the past?
I've totally outsourced my blog comments to Disqus (there are other alternatives) and I'd like to say, I'm very happy with my decision. Some manual spams still leaks through but they're so minuscule and I don't really fret over them any more.

Not even remotely. Adobe Business Catalyst users have been getting hammered with comment spam for months now, it shows up in waves on livejournal and I catch it regularly in my akismet queue in wordpress. I see it everywhere, still. If there's a form, something will try to post a link in it.

That's all well and good until someone writes a bot designed to target Disqus users because of the size of its userbase.
