I’ve been experimenting with different configurations for spam protection lately and want to share results which may be interesting to other bloggers.
All improvements to comment management outlined in [this post](http://rtur.net/blog/post/2010/02/26/Improving-comment-management.aspx) completed and now available in source control, so if you wish to give it a test drive I really interested in your feedback.
Looking at stats in several [BlogEngine.Net](http://dotnetblogengine.net/) 1.6 based sites, it seems like Akismet scores around 80% in accuracy on average, killing some 8 out of 10 spam comments. Which is pretty good but not outstanding. "Stop forum spam" filter blocks may be another 5%. Still, quite a lot of spam comments get through the filters.
