    I would enable comment moderation to moderate every comment. Take a look at “settings”, “discussion” and there take a look at “Before a comment appears”… enable “Comment must be manually approved “

    Then you can moderate all comments before they go live.

    Akismet works great to catch most of the spam but sometimes spam can come through. Comment moderation is always better in my opinion.

    Actually, if there is only ONE spammer, put his username and email in the blacklist box on your Discussion page. That way none of his spam gets in.

    In related news, Akismet is really not working well recently. How many comments from New Coupon Deals usernames can possibly be real?
