I recently came across this plug-in - WordPress › Growmap Anti Spambot Plugin « WordPress Plugins

It has totally stopped all spam on a site that used to get 100s of spam comments a day. Even Akismet struggled to keep up. I don't need to use Akismet any longer.

I also use Bad Behavior, Better WP Security and Limit Log-in Attempts on the site.

    Quite good plugin, indeed it will a lot less trouble to click a box than it is to enter a captcha.

    Very nice. Going to try this out, get a lot of unwanted comments per day on mine too. Thanks so much

    Yes, growmap is great. But it's only been effective since the guy randomised the name of the textfield! I guess the spammers will figure this out eventually.

      I'm sure they will. Nothing works for very long!

        Glad I stumbled upon this, I was kinda looking for an upgrade to Akismet.

    I had been having issues with spam - but once properly configuring Askimet it helped.

    I will look into this upgrade though!

    For another alternative that has worked very well for me is a plugin called "Spam Free WordPress". It knocks out 100% of spam for me with no noticeable database load even under heavy fire.

      Thanks for the great advice. I will definitely use this. I have seen spam increase on a couple of my sites lately.
