Jay: Thanks for the highly useful information. As there is no ‘one size fits all’ method that protect our blog from spammers, sharing experiences like this is surely a reference for many. Now by default current versions of WordPress has Akismet, Not sure, is that adequate enough to combat spam comments?

Thanks for the post, I’m having a tougher time in dealing with spammy comments on my blog, fed up with the moderator role too. This info comes at a good time as I am intending to install some anti spam plugins, was thinking of installing Hashcash after trying different plugins with little success. Now I decided to go with Akismet. Guess I can install Hashcash alongwith Akismet.

Akismet plugin helps a lot to block the spam comments. They say not to delete the spam comments for certain days from the spam area of comments so that the Akismet will identify it as spam and update their database. If genuine comments are treated as spam then remove it from the spam area, this needs to be done 2 or 3 times and Akismet will automatically remove such author’s comments out of spam. Isn’t it Great? Moreover it would be better to use re-captcha to block automated comment posting.
