You can also check the wordpress codex for more information. http://codex.wordpress.org/Working_w...g_Comment_Spam

Thanks for the info, it is something to think about. With 3 spam keywords, I could eliminate about 99% of the comment spam coming in.

I already moderate all comments with links but Bblog really doesn't have a good way to delete them from the queue. You've got to check a check box on each comment individually, no mass check so you can imagine how long it took to simply clean this up and the fact that I probably have the same thing to do again tomorrow.
