Spam is a very frustrating issue, and I’m sorry one of your sites is receiving so much. Sometimes the subject of a site will draw spammers, other times, the popularity of the site will draw them.
We have Akismet set up for all WordPress.com sites, so the spam comments should not be published on your site. They should be caught in your Spam Filter. Please let me know if this is not occurring for you.
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-blacklistYou 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.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/unwanted-comments/Spammers are insidious and opportunist, and they come and go in waves. We do our best to make sure they do not intrude on the public activity on your site, and are relegated to your Spam Filter.
Please make certain you are not using your personal email address anywhere on the site. We wouldn’t want that email address to become accessible to spammers. Instead, your readers can contact you via a Contact Form.
Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thanks much.
