I have been fighting comment spammers for weeks, and I think I&#8217-ve finally found the right combo:

1. I don&#8217-t use &#8220-Askimet&#8221- anymore (it constantly sent my own comments in the spam area!!!)-
2. I use &#8220-Bad Behavior&#8221- (it protects this blog from naughty spambots)-
3. I use &#8220-Peter&#8217-s Math Anti-Spam Image&#8221- (it makes sure the commenter is a human being and not a spambot)-
4. I use &#8220-WP AJAX Edit Comments&#8221- (it allows commenters to edit their comments, post publication)-
5. I use &#8220-Subscribe To Comments&#8221- (it allows commenters to receive e-mail notifications of new comments to a post)-
6. I use &#8220-NoFollow Free&#8221- (it allows the commenters&#8217- links to be computed by the Google PageRank system)-
7. I use &#8220-TinyMCEComments&#8221- (it puts a visual editor in the comment area)-
8. I use &#8220-WordPress Gravatars&#8221- (it shows off the face pictures of our blog users).
