Comment Spam Stats And Notes
Comment Spam on WordPress blogs is a HUGE issue, especially once your blog gets some momentum and ranking, like it or not but it is a fact of our daily life as bloggers. I have personally battled comment spam problem and described it on my blog several times.
My current solution – Intense Debate plugin implementation seem to work fairly well but it seem to have a few drawbacks, one of the more unpleasant one – it seem to auto-delete some comments without me EVER seeing them.

On my part – I promise that I NEVER delete comments that provided on this blog, as long as they follow Commenting Guidelines I provide right below comment form, be it through Intense Debate or regular WP Comment Form provided for browsers with javascript disabled.
