  I just wanted to let you know that I’m suddenly getting a LOT of spam posts that the filters aren’t catching. Since midnight, I think I’ve had 20+. Please let me know if there’s something that can be done about this or if others are having the same issues.

  Spam is always an on-going problem, and our anti-spam filter is a learning engine.

  As you receive spam comments, make sure that you mark them as spam (rather than deleting them) to educate the ending.

  It will eventually pick up on the new trends.
