I'm exhausted due to spam.

Every morning I need to delete 50-60 spam comments on one of my other blogs. It's kinda getting old, and frustrating to do this everyday.

 

What's the best kill method for this?

and

What do you guys use?

 

Cheers!

I use the GrowMap Anti-SPambot Plugin. It requires a person to check a box when submitting a comment. It's far easier than inputting captcha symbols, but stops most spam. I still get some, but its now of manageable proportions. If you're interested, it can be found at this link - GrowMap Anti-Spambot Plugin

I agree that GASP is the best I've used.

I have been advocating GASP to anyone who will listen for over a year.  Virtually no spam.

I love GASP, I get almost no spam since I started using it.  Askimet not only lets a lot of crap through, it also gives a lot of false positives so legitimate comments get blocked.
