I find that the Akismet module is fairly good about keeping spam out of public viewing. It doesn't require any captcha or other check, but relies on distributed back-end heuristics and is free for non-commercial use. (The module is GPL, the service has a fee for commercial use.) Highly recommended. On Saturday 03 November 2007, Allen Stern wrote:
Thanks Greg! I decided against captcha because I want to make it as easy as possible for people to comment, I don't mind cleaning the spam if it means additional good comments.

http://drupal.org/project/commentcloser is a module that does just that.
If you are getting spam, you should like also of one of the captcha modules: http://drupal.org/project/captcha http://drupal.org/project/recaptcha http://drupal.org/project/riddler
Or any of the other security modules: http://drupal.org/project/Modules/category/69

Evening all.. is it possible to set posts older than say 60 days to not allow comments? I get 1500 or so spams a day and a good majority of them
come from older posts so turning that off would be fab.
Thanks and don't forget to move the clocks in the U.S. :)
