   I'm using version 2.2.2
   Spambots are flooding my comments with commercials for medicines. I have to delete like 150 of these a day now. As a safety messure, I've put all comments on for moderation for now. How do I solve this? I need help quick!

   Check out

   Bad Behavior

   Another tool that can be combined with Bad Behavior:

   WP Ban

   A standard response:

   Install and activate Akismet or Spam Karma 2. Then install and activate Bad Behavior.

   For those who struggle with the Akismet directions: http://wordpress.com/api-keys/

   I just activated Akismet. But what does this do? Does it keep the spam away, or do I have to remove it myself still? Cause they come from different IP's all the time!

   No, I was hoping you could explain.

   And what does Bad Behaviour do in addition to Akismet?
