I also had to remove the Lucia Plugin too as I found it too time consuming as well. Both of these Plugins didn't perform in my eyes and since I removed them both the amount of spam has stopped and funny enough, the conversation has increased. @ Sue: Thank you.

But the whole idea of swapping the two plugins is to stop spammers from even trying to get their foot in the door. It just means less time spent moderating and hopefully less idiots who try. Trent: thanks I agree with you. From what I have seen so far I can't tell yet whether it will work, but there is always hope. :-) As for the link love, yes my loyal readers and commenter's won't miss out. The number is set on a value between 1-10. It is the spammers guess which one it is. :-) YC: yes, I do self moderate as i really don’t trust these moderating plugins.

You'll still get plenty of spam comments (that's just the way life goes) but it should cut down and help free up some of your time for more productive activities. Plus you still get to show link love to your loyal readers who will be back again and again. Trent Monika,

If so, it should help. If not, spammers still send multiple comments linked to one URL. I have never bothered to think too much about these plugins tho'. I just use the basic comment plugin. heh!
