I have never had any problems with spam in my comment sections. I have always allowed "anonymous" comments to be made, and I really hate the word verification...so I choose not to bug others with it on my blog.
It changed for me this week. I have had a bunch of spam...very annoying. What is weird to me is that they choose a post from July to put the spam in. Different advertisements, but all the same post.
Does the word verification bug you, like it bugs me? Should I just turn off "anonymous" comments? Or should I just deal with it, because honestly it takes me like three seconds to delete them permanently?

I have my comments set up for my approval before posting (only for unidentifiable authors). And I STILL get so many spam visitors! Sounds like they're the same as yours - choosing a post from months ago, and it's always the same post for each one! I don't get it. I don't mind deleting/spamming the comment, but it makes me a little nervous that there are so many! Do you know what drives that?? I don't mind the word verification if you want to put it on. It's fun to see what random words they put in anyway! :)
Well it will mess with your giveaways bad if you have to approve them...
You can have something installed in word press to help you with spam, email me.
I have never minded the word verification. It seems habit to expect it because most people have it.
I loved your letter from Vin! I can't wait to know what his middle name is.
Word verification annoys me. I just turned off my anonymous comments. It worked.
I say turn off anonymous, but it doesn't bother me either way....do you know who your anonymous peeps are??????
I find word verification a little annoying, but it doesn't stop me from commenting.
word verification doesn't bug me. Especially since I found out those ones that are actually double words - one of them is computer generated, the other is part of a program to help digitize really old books. I can't remember the name of the program that does it, but it's quite cool. The people of the internet do thousands of books a day!
I don't like word verification. I always moderate my comments before posting them. Had a few strange emails, but just deleted them.
My son just told me, "Did you know that SPAM stands for stuff posing as meat?" I guess you are getting Stuff Posing As Mail....
I really hate the word verification! I would just make it so you have to approve comments that are anonymous, if that's possible.
I don't mind the word verification... I have actually turned it into a game, and when I find funny words, I save the image (I plan on posting them on my blog when I have enough funny ones!) Yeah, I'm a dork! But definitely turning off anonymous comments would probably help.
