Comment spam
I just got hit by a bout of comment spam so I took several measures to remedy to this:
- Increased the interval between consecutive comments from the default 10 seconds to 90 seconds by editing wp-comment-post.php (see “More comment flood” at Weblog Tools Collection).
- Installed the Auto-Close Comments plugin by Scott Hanson.
- Installed Spam Tar Pit and Kitten’s Spam Words.
This should do the trick. Everything was courtesy of comment spam stoppage techniques from Weblog Tools Collection.

We may have been hit by the same shithead. I was going to check the WP plug-in page, but I see you’ve already done so and posted links — many thanks!

Sorry to hear that and glad I could help!
The tricky part was that I set the link limit at 5 and the bastard used only 4 links in his (I assume that’s a “he”) “comments”… Hopefully, the measures described above should stop most of the spam. Good luck!
