You all are sick and tired of the spam in your Akismet spam-bin. Right?
I wasn’t happy too.
Then I made TruBar.
The concept
In coding we give cookies to the registered user, or to mark preferences or for thousands of other things.
We never give cookies to the robots, because no robot will take cookie to mark itself as a robot.
Then why not giving cookies to the human users?
If the user doesn’t hold a cookie it is to show that this user is not human.
There are many ways to give cookie to human and one only way for the robots - find it.
But we can help robots to find the wrong cookies.
TruBar has plenty of them.
What is TruBar 3.0 (Lessen)
Your comment is awaiting moderation
I’d like to ask all WP sharks: “Have you ever comment on Matt’s or on Akismet’s weblogs?”
You did?
And you probably saw your comment coming up on the page.
Well, you were fooled.
Your comment was put on the moderation queue, and you got only the cookies ;)
Comment and clean up your cookies.
What do you see now!?
Nothing.
Shame!
Matt and most importantly Akismet put your comments on a queue…
And don’t tell me that Akismet is GOOD!!!
You deserve it! (Mind manipulation-10)
There is proverb which says:
Every nation deserves its rulers.
I have very little visitors in my weblog and they probably started to think that I dropped the “manipulation” articles.
No, my friends.
Every study needs examples.
The TruBar project was part of the study.
If you don’t know what WordPress is, it is the engine on which my weblog runs.
It is developed by clever and bright guys and it is FREE of charge.
Somehow it happened that the users of this software started to get SPAM
Then the bright guys decided that they can stop it with another software called Akismet
Akismet is filtering system which runs on a BIG server.
You go on a weblog, and you comment.
Your comment is sent for filtering to the server on which Akismet runs.
Akismet looks at it and decides whether it is SPAM or normal comment, and then it returns answer to the blog where you comment.
The blog system decides according to Akismet’s answer to publish or not to publish your comment.
