Hey, I need some advice/help, now I’ve been writing on this blog for a few years, I don’t blog a great deal in comparison to many of my peers and my blog doesn’t get a massive number of hits, BUT I seem to get a fair share of comments spammers!!

I have an image verification on the comments and I have put an Akismet API key into the Geekswithblogs settings, but I still get a bunch of spam comments.

They could almost be real, until you see the link going off to some dating site or casino crap.

What does everyone do?? Delete them every time?? Moderate comments??

I would rather not moderate comments if possible, but is that the only way to stop the crap??

Thx
