    2424Some spam bots edit a page twice, so the last change is harmless and the previous one added the spam. Be aware of such tactics. Sometimes spam is done by humans - this type is usually successful, but humans are easily discouraged by fast deletion.

    26 The bayes filter (when properly trained) usually has the best detection rates and can be adapted pretty fast to new attacks by training the successful spam attempts. Akismet is a good second line of defense (they also use adaptive algorithms). Training also helps the external services when a new type of attack begins. The other services are good to catch the spammers which have rather dumb methods (most of them).
