Akismet letting spammer in (2 posts)

    Akismet has done a perfect job of catching spam for me in the past, but suddenly one of those pharmaceutical places has slipped by. At least once a day, and sometimes twice, they post a comment--using different aliases, of course. I have marked them spam over and over for about a month, but they are still showing up every single day. Is there a problem with Akismet? Is there a particular spammer they can't catch? What's going on?

    You could add this to the mix:
    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/si-captcha-for-wordpress/

    Adds CAPTCHA anti-spam methods to WordPress on the comment form, registration form, login, or all. In order to post comments or regiser, users will have to type in the phrase shown on the image. This prevents spam from automated bots. Adds security. Works great with Akismet
