  I can’t keep up with the spam – I find it impossible to wade thru all the spam and spot and despam the small percential of genuine comments that get caught, which creates a Catch 22. So I’d be happy to pay for a validation tool upgrade.

  In particular, there are a lot of spammers now posting comments *designed* to degrade akismet’s judgement by looking like spam to a human eye but blurring the distinction to akisment’s eye.

  I do not know what you are referring to by this:

  Do you mean that you wish to purchase a commercial Akismet API key? http://akismet.com/commercial/

  What is the url for your wordpress.com blog please?
  Or are you a self-hosted blogger who has downloaded software from http://wordpress.org ?

  Don’t have a clue as to what you mean by a ‘validation tool upgrade.’ Maybe explaining would be helpful.

  Could he be referring to a captcha system maybe?

  Why don’t we let teh poster explain instead of us making guesses? (That’s my guess as well though)

  I think he’s busy bumping Adsense threads right now, but he might have time later to answer.
