spam

Hi,
I am receiving an abundance of spam lately in “gibberish”. I have askimet which is working and I have the option of moderating comments. Is there anything else I can do? My blog .is uniquelyyourscraftjournal..com
Thanks

Hi Sallie!
Unfortunately, spam can be hard to predict so comments can occasionally slip by. Can you confirm that you’re marking them as spam rather than just deleting them?
If a lot of the spam comments have a common string of text, I suggest adding that string to your 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.
Lastly, if this problem persists, please reach out to our Akismet team here:
They will be able to provide a bit more assistance!
In case you’re interested, we have an infographic that breaks down the spam scenario a bit better:
