In reply to: [Growmap Anti Spambot Plugin] SPAM Getting ThroughHi Andy
The spam comments I’m getting are definitely not trackbacks.
In regards to how many I get a day, I only guessed at about 300-400 per day. The reason it was just a guess is because I empty the spam comments folder about 10 times per day (while I’m moderating legitimate comments), so I wasn’t clear on the total for a 24 hour period. But, after I made the comment above, I found that the amount of spam is actually a lot higher – as after a lazy Saturday I had over 1000 comments in a 24 hour period.
Back to today: I had cleared the spam folder just before getting notification of your above comment. Here’s a screenshot from only 20 minutes or so after clearing the spam folder (you’ll see that after only 20 minutes I already have 21 spam comments):

Not sure what else to tell you, except that I’m running the latest WordPress, with the bootstrap theme.
I’ll just keep clearing the spam folder I guess. 🙂

It might be a matter of people not bothering to report it to you, I don’t know, but I can confirm the same issue. I’m running the latest version of WordPress (3.7.1) and the latest version of GASP (1.5.4) and I also still get about 300 or 400 or so automated spam comments per day. I’ve used GASP for only about a month, and from reading the reviews I anticipated a drop to zero spam comments, or close to that, but alas they continue. It’s perhaps a half, or a third of what I used to get, but still they come. Site: http://www.permaculturenews.org
