Lately, comment spam has been a big problem and I was sick of clearing around 15 - 20 or so spam comments that wordpress catches. Some of them escapes and was getting published. I knew about Akismet but the problem with that is you have to get an account on wordpress.com and give the API key. Annoying.
I’ve used re-captcha in the past but it creates more problems than it solves. Often times I find it frustrating if I have to go through a captcha which is unreadable. Sometimes you get it wrong several times and lose the interest to comment and you just go away.
During my quest for a world with zero spam without any captchas, I stumbled on the awesome WP-SpamFree plugin. Zero comment spam so far! w00t. Rock on Scott!
