 * Hi 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. 🙂

 * Hi Andy
 * 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](http://www.permaculturenews.org)
