Just a quick warning to anyone reading this blog, if you decide to place a comment with one of the following words in it, it will be nuked! Gone forever, arrive derci, vaya con dios, buh-bye, gone!
After receiving over 50 spam comments in a period of less than 24 hours, I’m tired of wasting time deleting them from moderation. I also need to look-into a comment spam plug-in. Anyone have any experience or favorites?

I use Akismet (see the wordpress site for details) – no false negatives and only one false positive – but that was my sister who wrote a stupid message :)
Only problem with it is that it doesn't take your existing moderation choices into account.
It works pretty well though.

Thanks Rodeo, I've heard about it before as well, so glad to get another recommendation from someone I know. Quick question for you though, to get the API key you needed, did you sign-up for a WordPress blog? I'm already using WordPress through my hosting company, don't really need to setup another blog!

Hey Jason,
Under Options, Discussion, check the box where it says 'Comment author must have a previously approved comment'. First time commenters will be moderated, after that, they can freely comment. I used to use some spam plugin, but I don't have it installed right now. (I recently had to reinstall WP and apparently did not re-install it.) But honestly, the moderation of first comments works well, I generally get 5-10 comment spams a day that never see the light of day. I usually let them accumulate then mark them all as spam at once. At one point, I updated my blacklist, like what you have done, and that definitely helps. I have used hashcash plugin and bad behavior plug in with some success. Bad behavior came with some added frustration, but hashcash was ok.
I hope this helps, comment spam is a pain, I have very little patience for it.

Thanks Jim. I was actually already using that method, but the days I would get 50+ spam comments were annoying. I also have it setup to receive and e-mail when I receive a new comment, so that was 50+ additional junk e-mails to filter too. Now that I've installed akismet, everything is working great.
