The spam bots have waged a war on my poor blog.
Everyday, at least 50 comments are held for moderation and all of them advertise viagra or similar drugs.

I had installed Spam Karma 2 also but it didn’t let any comment through.
50 useless comments is still small but I don’t wanna take chances.

Out of them, I find Did You Pass Math? to be the coolest. It asks the commentor to give the answer to a simple math addition problem before they can post. Sorta like captcha.
