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

Do you know http://codex.wordpress.org/Akismet ? It works fine for me.

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!

Hi,

for me the Akismet spam filter did a great job.

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.
