  This is really disgusting so I want to report them. What can I do and what will you do so that they learn this sort of language is not acceptable.

  Thanks

  Sorry about the trouble, and thanks for reporting the issue.

  If a lot of spam comments have a common string of text, I suggest adding that string to your blacklist:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/#comment-blacklist

  You can use the comment author’s name, IP address, web site, as well as the comment itself. Please make sure the word is not something contained in non-spam comments. For example, if you enter “press” as a blacklisted word, “WordPress” will match.

  Also, please mark those comments as spam instead of just deleting. Our Akismet anti-spam engine tries to learn from a pattern of the comments that are marked as spam.

  Let me know if I can help further!

  Thank you for the feedback. I will definitely add them to spam. if they continue to post comments like this I will add the string of text to my blacklist. The latter is a bit technical for me but I will learn to do it if needs be.

  Great! Marking them as spam will be the most helpful, since as I mentioned our spam filter will be able to ‘learn’ from what you mark as spam and get better at recognizing it next time. But, if a series of spam comments comes through with the same content, the blacklist is a great way to go.

  Let me know if you need help setting up the blacklist!
