I'm reaching out to you today in hopes of solving my spam problem.
In the last few days, I've been getting over 50 spam messages per day.
Its tiring and a huge time drain to clean out the BS every time.
Currently I use "Growmap Anit-Spam", who I switched to about six months ago, while before I was using Aksimet.
Any suggestions? Thoughts?
Much appreciated.

Change your Wordpress password. I recently started getting a ton of spam comments even though I use GASP and after changing my password I've seen the spam die down.
Not sure if this was the remedy but it could work.

I figure it as the price of progress.
@LaTisha, how strong was your password before? Mine is a 12 digit randomly generated password of uppers, lowers, and numbers and I still get 20-30 per day, which is more than the amount of traffic that I actually log.

Use GASP and Akismet together at the same time. That will help a bunch!

Sorry mate, guess you're too popular! I use Disqus and don't have any problems with spam.

I've noticed an increase of spam comments as well over the last couple of weeks.
Thought about switching over to Disqus…

I used Disquis before, and I wasn't happy with it.
Having a separate "commenting" system outside of wordpress is just more to manage.
I will install Aksimet with GASP.

I use Akismet + Conditional CAPTCHA. Works almost 100% of the time. Only a few get through each month.

Same, I use all recommended options that websites will allow me to use. Maybe it isn't the password then, but it's worth a shot.

I had some awful spam issues a while back, like hundreds per day. Then i implemented what i talk about on the post linked below and I haven't had any issues since. (Growmap was one part of it, and denying certain commenting requests was another part of it)
