  Hi there – I’m not seeing any spam here:

  https://quequereshacer.wordpress.com/wp-admin/edit-comments.php

  Is there a different site you’re referring to?

  Thank you for your attention.
  Yes! That´s the blog.
  I already deleted more than 1.300 messages that i had to mark as Spam and remove by myself.
  After I set up a Captcha system.
  The weird thing, as mentioned previously, the last spam comments got in post that where deleted long time ago.
  Since yesterday those comments dicreased.
  Also, comments need to be moderated before publish them as is set.

  Could you please tell me more about this? What did you set up exactly – could you provide a link so I can take a look?

  If this happens again, could you provide a link here so we can investigate? That is definitely strange.

  If you find any patterns in the spam comments, you can try experimenting with the Settings > Discussion options. For example, you might want to limit comments with links, or put certain words or IP addresses on the blacklist.
