For those of you wondering where I’ve been, it’s Malaysia and Indonesia for the past two months (stories and photos). Not that anyone wants to hear about that, though!
Has anybody noticed a remarkable spike in wordpress comment spam in the last week? I’ve had to defer all comments for moderation due to the massive amounts of crap that’s coming through. More importantly, does anybody have any suggestion of a way to get around it?
Update: Just noticed that all my permanent pages and comment captcha is missing. This disturbs me greatly.
I use “Math Comment Spam” ( http://sw-guide.de/wordpress/plugins/math-comment-spam-protection/ ) which has worked perfectly for me. We also use it on the openSUSE news site.
Hi,
for me the Akismet spam filter did a great job.

Yeh, as of this weekend I’ve been getting probably 10x the WordPress comment spam I was getting before. I think I may need to add a captcha even although I hate them!
Do you know http://codex.wordpress.org/Akismet ? It works fine for me.
I have a Drupal site, and I got a huge surge of Comment spam over the last few days. I installed reCAPTCHA and all seems OK now
