- I used Akismet. It is free for personal blogs and easy .
- Configure Spam (Settings > Spam).
- A ReCaptcha key takes 2 minutes.
- An Akismet key takes 2 minutes.
- The links are in the configuration pages.
- Both are free.
- Add the Java Script Anti Spam, Re Captcha, and Spam Filter content parts to the Comment content type.
- Do we need all three?
- Use CSS and placement.info to tweak the UI.
- Automatically close comments after a few days (Settings > Comments) if you like.
