  I already have both Akismet and Bad Behaviour installed. Everything was going great until the other day when suddenly spam all started again.

  1000’s a day! How can my spam filters suddenly not block things?

  Are there any other tools out there?

  If you have a blog hosted anywhere other than at WordPress.com, you need to be asking in the forum at WordPress.org. It’s different software.

  I am getting over 1000 spam a day, but only one or two get through. Have you perhaps inadvertently deactivated Akismet?

  Wow it seems like SPAM is attacking my blog and it all went thru the “waiting for moderation”. I wonder if the Akismet is working?

  It hits that is if can’t tell if it should be marked or not.

  It’s been occurring like every few minutes, same IP’s, spammed checked, deleted them but well, not that I am worried, it’s just annoying.

  I’m having similar problems…
  There is nothing under the ‘Waiting Moderation’ or ‘Akismet Spam’ tabs, and they’ve found their way to the comments.

  You could maybe do it so comments have to be approved by you so at least the spam isn’t posted. I guess that would be still be annoying and ridiculous to go through so much spam though.
