What is the Best Way to handle Spam Comment in Blog?

Getting spam comment is not a new to every blogger. To look at spammers activity WordPress has included Akismet Stats. As per Akismet Stats, Akismet has caught 41,576 spams at an overall accuracy rate of 99.823% for my blog Espreson.com. Now, if you look at overall global data of Akismet Stats, you will be amazed.

There is sharp increasing of Orange bar(Spam). Just look at the Live! Stats. So, Akismet is doing its business behind the scene.

To give extra protection, I implemented Captcha plug-ins. Still got unwanted messy comment from fake kind of e-mail ids. In my experience there is a drawback of implementing Captcha for blog. It sometime drives away visitors to post comment due to critical questions or unsolvable images.

So, What is the Best Way to handle Spam Comment?

My opinion says,

Let Akismet or similar kind of spam protection plug-in do its business behind the scene. They works fine.
Hold comment for moderation.

What is the benefit of “Holding comment for moderation”?

Control of messy comments and get Hams(Legitimate Comment).

Now the question arises—“Holding comment for moderation” is the best way to get legitimate comment(Ham), what do you think?
