and edit you template change some word like "leave a reply" and in footer temlpate del powered by wordpress.
but i dont suggeste del powered by wordpress ,you can change it to thanks to wordpress and leave wordpress link to wp homepage

 

1) use akismet.
2) use captcha
3) use wp-spam free plugin
I am sure that will help decreasing your spam comments, for more information, read more here.

 

Yes use Akismet - I absolutely hate spam as well!

 

pcjaguar, if you don't need comments at all in your wp blog then you can simply remove the comment boxes from your theme. look for this text "<?php comments_template(); ?>" in your index.php, single.php and page.php and remove that text from these files. Then there will be no more comments form in your blog. However if u want to keep comments form but just want to use spam, then the above comments should help you.

 

Thanks for this useful post dude.. I think spam comments will be prevented by using this plugins..

 

Take a look at these two modifications - recaptcha and the Stop Forum Spam modificaiton for wordpress.

ReCaptcha - spammers broke the standard captcha phrase a long time ago. If at all possible, use the ReCaptcha mod.

Stop Form Spam - checks post against the stop forum spam database - which compares username, ip address and email adresses to a list of known spammers. Even though it was designed for forums, I think there is a wordpress add-on.

I use the Stop Forum Spam mod on my forum. It blocks about 500 spammers every week from signing up on my forum.

 

Stop pingback

 

akismet is pretty good fighting spam.
Think it should be sufficient for you

 

I usually approve all the comments manually, so I won`t have any spam

 

now my problem is fixed because of i am remove all ping options and also i am remove all comment system files.

thanks to all for reply.

 

Use captcha

and as well as post comment after the moderation system !

 

I use Akismet

 

I posted a thread about using your htaccess to block IP addresses and bot registrations altogether.

Removing the ping option and all ability to comment altogether is pretty drastic. I had a few repetitive spammers, and I just blocked their IP address and I haven't seen them
since.
