My bloghoster has the latter plus only registered users' comments are posted automatically after they've done the Turing Test. The problem with CAPTCHA is that some of the generators create text that is illegible to humans as well as OCR bots... annoys some people that. Akismet seems to work well, and CAPTCHA too.

Someone suggested Akismet and that has stopped the comment spam. I used to receive over 100 spam comments per day. I tried the image verification and it did not work.

Thunderbird antispam works like this.

NucleusCMS has the SC plugin framework which I use but also makes use of global black lists (of IP addresses) as GBL is not new there could be a WP plug for it.

Sadly once a spammer has you in his sights he (or she) will not stop hitting you with ever more spam. Fortunatly only your front page is PR; so you shouldn’t be that badly effected yet but it can get very bad.

Good luck with the plugin search, let us know how you get on.
