Argh. Too much spam is getting through again; even with Akismet. So I'm in the process of writing a new spam class. The aim is to build a comment score (similar to email spam filtering programs) based on the following:

• Email Address/Name/Website
• Comment Body (number of links etc)
• If the user is registered
• If the user has successfully posted a comment before
• white and black lists
• response from akismet
• how old and how many comments a post has

So hopefully I can cut down the spam.
