    Hi there!

    I’m sorry you’re having trouble with spam comments! If a lot of the spam comments have a common string of text, I suggest adding that string to your blacklist:

    http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/#comment-blacklist

    You can use the comment author’s name, IP address, web site, as well as the comment itself. Please make sure the word is not something contained in non-spam comments. For example, if you enter “press” as a blacklisted word, “WordPress” will match.

    Also, please mark those comments as spam instead of just deleting. Our Akismet anti-spam engine tries to learn from a pattern of the comments that are marked as spam. That should help in drastically cutting down the amount of spam comments on your blog.

    Can you give those two options a try and let me know if it helps to clear up the issue?
