Turning on Comment Moderation
I have been getting a lot of comment spam in the past couple of months. I tried to tackle the situation with various method (including, but not limited to) disabling anonymous comments and enabling CAPTCHA. However, as nothing seems to have worked reliably, I am left with nothing but enforce comment moderation. Keep in mind that this blog isn't a democracy, but a dictatorship and I am the dictator. So, don't ever think about complaining of the moderation, whatsoever! This is my first and last decision. Well, at least for now. ;)
Edit: Almost all the spam comments have been cleared!

Haahahahaa..... Tried of moderate a comment... Just like me man.... I'm so tried....
Good decision. Although it make you a little busy to review.
I usualy use akismet anti spam, to swap comment that posting by tool/ robot.
But I also reveiew all, to approve or delate. because, we like, if the commentator is the real human, not robot
It is hard to get rid of blog spammers.... as long as you have a do follow blog, there will surely be spammers...Sooner or later you will just get tired of moderating the blog
And how do you know i am not one of them? :)
You are right man its hard to block spam sometimes.Well i am using a plugin to block my spam comments.Its working good
Moderation is the only way to clean the blog from spammers. No plugins, CAPTCHA and other means will help. Good idea.
I agree with Simon. Askimet is the best solution I've found. Particularity the paid edition. But its still a pain to moderate all the comments. Good luck with it.
