However, using WordPress' Akismet spam protection does the job well and virtually automatically (I've not had to load up keywords, or really customize anything). I've been using Akismet for months, and it getting drunk and misrepresenting my faithful commenters as spam is two-days new. I think it ties into when I added the WYSIWYG comment form the other day. Perhaps it got freaked out by the amount of HTML suddenly in the comments. Like I mentioned, I'm watching it closely now, and will take the appropriate action. If that means adding another step to the posting process, so be it - but that'll be a last resort.
