My site has also suddenly been hit with a ton of comment spam, but I had comments moderated from the start and have Akismet installed. Akismet has caught nearly 100% of the spam, but occasionally it will mark legitimate posts as spam as well, so I always skim the spam folder quickly before deleting. If you're using Akismet, I'd recommend still checking it because occasionally it will identify legitimate posts that contribute to a discussion as spam.

Hi David

Commented on one of your guest bloggers posts re blog spam so I am glad I've had a look at this, I've suddenly been hit with up to 50 spam comments a day and I'm more concerned with deleting genuine comments in frustration that anything

Most of the spam comments are obvious generic entries, mis matched names and blogs and obviously false e mail addresses, that said it's still a pain spending over an hour a day dealing with the fallout of it

Thanks for sharing Tony

Hi David,

thank you for recommending my CPR plugin. :) It's good see that "the word about comment spam" spreads around the blogsphaere and that more blogger are telling other people to care about it.

Yeah, many does not care. They even don't know the background why they shall install spam-fighting plugins.

Best regards,
Roland
