		<description><![CDATA[Lorelle great hints to keeping the spam under control for Wordpress (I do have 2 of those), but my real problem is with Joomla spam right now. In fact i had to turn the comments off just to get a break from the lovely spammers. Hoping maybe you have some ideas for me on the Joomla format :-).]]></description>

Identical comments as comment spam have been around for a very long time. In fact, it is the oldest method since it only does one thing. Luckily, enough savvy bloggers are spotting these and reporting them as spam, so there is a huge database record, and rarely do these get through. Most of the ones you find are there because the blogger is no longer blogging, thus not paying attention, or they are old and the blogger hasn&#039;t re-processed their spam queue now that the spam flighting databases have updated.]]></description>

CAPTCHAs have been repeatedly proven to not work. I&#039;m sorry you are bored with discussions of comment spam. I&#039;m also tired of it, but as you can see from the comments, a lot of people were unaware. 

New bloggers enter the market constantly and I serve the beginners who are learning everything for the first time. Thus, there will be some redundancy from time to time, especially when the new techniques that are being used (based on old but getting smarter and smarter) are getting by normally diligent bloggers.]]></description>
