No. If I use it will it report spam comments to Akismet? And, for example is there a method for blocking domains from posting comments on my blog?
If I use it will it report spam comments to Akismet?
If you have comments that Akismet misses and that you mark as spam, yes. However 99% of the time, it will catch the spam for you.
is there a method for blocking domains from posting comments on my blog?
Yes – it’s part of WP core. Navigate to Settings -> Discussion and scroll about halfway down the page.

I know that, but this is not what I asked. The blacklist marks the comments as spam. What I asked is if there is a way to block comments from certain domains so that I will not bother deleting them from the spam folder.
For example, something like this:
If comment website field includes websiteA.com, do not accept that comment and give an error to the visitor. A plugin maybe?
If you set up your spam folder to auto-purge, it’s fairly close. I don’t know if there’s a plugin to just block access, though…
It’s a part of Akismet. Anything that is picked up by Akismet automatically deletes itself after 15 days.

Hi,
I would like to know if marking a comment as spam has any influence. I mean, is it reported to somewhere when I mark it as spam or is it just for my information?
