Peety,
Thanks for the recommendations. I’ve put Spam Karma in.

Eivissu,
I might try simple math too. I heard the “retarted captcha” that asks the same question forever also works! It’s starting to get ridiculous even with Akismet.

engtech,
That looks useful. It shows how much you’ve suffered.

Check out this greasemonkey script. Makes the spam folder in Akismet easier to scan read.

Akismet is definitely a blessing. The thing is, it does take some time to go through the spam just to make sure that you don’t miss a valid comment. Have you tried installing the simple math plugin for the comments form? That sounds like a promising anti-spam plugin as well.
