    (Just asking here before digging in the WordPress support and user pages) Dad maintains a couple of blogs on WordPress. One issue he's having is spam in the comments; the comments section is moderated and he has to manually delete all spam before event starting moderating reall comments. Do you have suggestions for WordPress plugins or mechanisms to help him manage that? Thanks.

    I'd rather be phishing!

          Buddy of mine suggests 'anti-spam[^]' and 'akismet[^]'. He uses them on the client sites he hosts for people.

                Akismet + Bad Behavior + check the "Comment author must have a previously approved comment" box the first two block most things. and those that get through go straight to moderation. i see maybe two a month.

                  Akismet or GrowMap anti spambot plugin http://growmap.com/growmap-anti-spambot-plugin/[^] - I use the latter and it works really well for me!

                  Cheers, Karthik
