Comments Getting Spammed

    I was wondering if anyone knew of a good comment spam plugin that doesn’t cost any money. I have a website that is all about cabins and cottages and people keep posting comments that are ridiculous.

    Here are some examples:
    An article about hocking hills cabin rentals
    An article about cottage rentals

    Why do people post all these worthless comments that are way off topic?

    I am looking for the following:
    1) A FREE comment spam stopping software
    2) An easy to upload template to make my comments section look nice, such as tiered comments, avatars, etc.

    If you know of any please let me know. I have searched for a couple of hours and it appears they all charge money.

    Thanks,
    Chris

    Everywhere I looked askimet cost money for business websites. Is this correct?

    I don’t know your business or specifics on the askimet license, but they used to have a pro blogger license that can be for small businesses that is like $5 a month. I recommend it to clients anyway because with a license you get more features.

    What about the templates? Is there a good template to use? I was hoping to have tiered comments where others could reply to each other as well as avatars.

    You are using an Old and buggy version of WP. Before you do anything you might want to upgrade.
    Maybe what you want is a Message forum like Buddy Press. Blog posts do not work well for discussion.
    And for WP you are looking for themes and not templates. You can search on here.
