I don't know how they do it, but they do it. Right now you can turn on the akismet support and this w.ill mark nearly 99% the malicious comments as spam and they will never get published on your site.
We are also working on implementing recaptcha and this should be the end of the spam forever.

hm recaptcha is cool.
but even recaptcha wouldn't stop low-payed people. (see below)
it would as you say reduce 99%



Chinese commentwriter: 0,1 $/h or so
5 captcha per minute = 300 cap/h
success: 1 / 10.000

1$ = 3000capt
spam for a 10$ product
success: 1 / 10.000
1$ => 10* succ 3000/10.000
1$ => 3$
that would be profitable

Sorry, but I don't understand what are you proposing that we do?

nothing.. there is nothing that can be done against human spammers.
