    Just set it so you have to moderate every comment and delete the ones you do not want. I am sure there are plug ins but nothing beats the human eye.

    Hi GoHalo3. Try WP-SpamFree in Combo with Akismet and Comment Moderation. Should do the trick.

    Akismet solves the problem. Get yourself a wp API key, activate the plugin, and you are done.

    I use Akismet on mine and so far it hasn't let one spam comment through!

    Spam Karma 2 is also a good solution.
