Constantly recieving spam comments, despite my efforts to put in protection

    Hi all,

    My website has akismet and recaptcha installed in order to try and combat spam. Whilst it goes automatically into the spam folder, I’m getting one a minute meaning it builds up. If I leave it a few days, I have 20,000 spam comments which are fairly simple enough to delete but if I don’t, it slows my admin page down incredibly. It’s a pain having to delete them every day.

    Is there anyway for them to be autodeleted? Thanks

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
