For those that use Wordpress a must to fight spam on their blog is to enable the Akismet plugin. But all Akismet does is hold all the spam and allow you to delete it, it doesn’t help you fight spam. A new plugin that has been released now will help you fight it, by finding the worst offenders listed in Akismet, it will then ban those ip addresses that the spam is coming from. Using this plugin should cut down your spam by large amounts, but like all anti-spam software, always watch it closely the first few months, you may be stopping or deleting an important message.

Almost 50% of the spam comments that I get on my blogs point to blogspot.com. Even though most, if not all is caught by Akismet, I would like a plugin that goes through Akismet and checks for a link to blogspot, even the ones through the miniurls. After finding the blogspot blogs, it will auto flag the blogspot as objectionable content and then move to the next. This may not stop them sending spam to your blog but it would help blogspot kill all the spam blogs and that would cut out a huge place for spamming.
