Blog Comment Spam and Wordpress Anti-Spam Plugins

SpamMy blog keep getting hit by massive spam amounts – for more than 4000 spam comments entries a week.

Most ( around 90% ) of the spam comments are recognized and trapped by the Akismet anti-spam plugin, but this still leaves me with a lot of comments to handle manually.

To get rid of this I installed a anti-spam plugin called Math Comment Spam Protection Plugin. This plugin ask the user a fairly simple math question while filling out the comment form – basic, but very effective.
