Don't bother blacklisting IP addresses or using third party blacklists, that will just generate false positives. Almost all bots use the same IP addresses as (some) legitimate users.

I totally agree with some of your comments. A few commenters take the mick (they're not even commenters!), so by keeping the comments in check can help you loads. One other thing I look for is comments that copy & paste from either the post or another commenter. Just have an idea on what's been going on your blog, use common sense, and you'll be fine :) Hi Mr. I!

I just delete it. I will have to filter them as you say, was not aware you could do that. They are always the same, some movie star nude. I set blogging guidelines in my top commenter, do follow, page. So people know if they do the "great site" thing it is going to be deleted. Thanks for the information, I will be back.

I prefer people on my blog to use their real name, but I do not enforce it! I am tempted to set out some blogging guidelines. that way I can advise people why their comments are not making onto the site! Common sense is the best way to block these spam comments!

I don't seem to have this problem. 99% of my commenters use personal names or a personal name and website. I don't mind personally if people add their website next to their name. Maybe I'm just lucky. I use Akismet and WP-Spam Free. Together they seem to do wonders. Hi Mr. I.

From past few days, I was receiving some comments in Russian language, I thought that the commentator wanted a help, so I accepted all the comments and went to Google translator. When I translated those comments, I found that they were useless and very irrelevant. These type of comments looks legit but they are not always because people try to fool you by first giving some good comments and when they are out of the spammers list, they post spam which is posted without passing through filters.! So, take care.... :) I normally add spammer’s IP addresses to the comment blacklist.

People seek out "Top Commentator" websites. My policy is this. If the comment is an insightful one, I'll let it pass even if it was written by "golf clubs" :) If it is a "Great Post" comment, that "great comment" is headed directly for the spam queue!
