Yes, the comment spam is a big problem. Here is what I do to help.. 1st Layer of defense : I use the Bad Behavior plug-in for wordpress which blocks all bad requests. 2nd layer of defense : I use Akismet plug-in --- which is great at blocking spams which make past the 1st layer! 3rd layer : blocking comments with certain keywords in wordpress, and moderation of all comments posted for the first time by the users. Combination of above three works pretty well for me -- and only around 1 or 2 spam comments per week reach layer 3 ! @Alice: Nice point! Yes, the comment spam is a big problem.

Isn't that a major problem? Does that require you to monitor very very closely in order to be able to delete comments that aren't appropriate? (I know the word "appropriate" means different things to different people but here, let's just say it means whatever the owner of the blog thinks it means.)
