So I gave the Battle of the blogs a go over at BlogExplosion. IT was fun. I won some, and lost some. The cool thing was that it definately brought traffic my way. The bad news is that it brought traffic my way. Saturday morning when I logged in, I found 79 comments waiting for moderation. Each and every one was spam. I’ve had comments like that before, but not 79 of them!! It was time for action!
I downloaded and installed Spam Karma 2.0. The install was pretty typical. Unzip the package, and install it in your plugins folder. Then access, and activate it in the plugins screen of the WP manager. I noticed it listed all previous comments that I marked as spam, the date it occurred, and the comment. Honestly, it’s way over my head… but all Iknow is that for now, it works.

Try Akismet.

Spam Karma is excellent for dealing with spam, but if you’re anything like me, you’d rather not deal with it at all. Try Bad Behavior.

Someone else below asked this already about antispam scripts.
I am getting nailed with Spam on my website mails and in our blog website - now its offline too
much spam. Is there anyway to stop this? If not, there really isn’t any point in leaving it up
and active. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for help, Keep up the good work. Greetings from Poland
