A request was just sent out on Mollom's Twitter account to help them spread the word on Mollom. Since I've been an extremely satisfied user of this (free) anti-spam service for about 2 years now, I immediately added a link back to them in the footer of this blog. But I decided that's not enough. So I'd like to start a little meme here.
If you're happy about Mollom, just shout it out on Twitter, Facebook, your blog, ... by putting up a screenshot of your stats and saying how many spam has been caught by Mollom. You can find the stats of your site on your Mollom account. If you're using Drupal, you can find them under Administer > Reports > Mollom Statistics.
If you're using Twitter, use the hashtag #mollomstats. I'm looking forward see how much crap content Mollom has spared us from.
I'll give the example by being the first...
As you can see, Mollom has blocked over 35000 spam attempts in 2 years on this blog. One day it even caught more than 600 spam attempts. These days it blocks and average of 100 attempts per day. I think I have an average of 2 legitimate posts (comments, contact form) per day.
Thank you Mollom!

I wonder why mollom detect my comments as spam?
Nobody is able to get past the CAPTCHA- what is wrong?

I had my stats up for a while and just updated the image. Very uneven waves compared to other sites, but Mollom rocks definitely!
I posted my Mollom stats last year, but just added an updated image. At its peak Mollom blocked 2156 attempts per day. Not sure why spammers think my site is this important and whether I should be flattered. But Mollom is a must-have module for every Drupal site.
I'm closing in on having over 100,000 pieces of spam blocked:

Check out the Mollom Stats module: http://drupal.org/project/molstats - It puts your Mollom stats in a block right on your site. It hasn't been updated in a while, but it hasn't really needed to be - it still works fine.
Great initiative Davy! I posted my stats as well.
Here's stats for the Archdiocese of St. Louis:

I'm not sure how we have so little spam abuse; probably because there's not too much commenting allowed...
