How do I safeguard against spam in comments space

  • Just over two weeks ago, some idiot has invaded my comments area on each of my website pages ‘WHY’ I have closed all the comments section until this issue is resolved.
    What have they gained on each occasion I delete the whole spam link without viewing it, but it returns with even more spam. With the comments area closed I have not received any more spam, but they return soon after opening the comments area for my customers to offer feedback.
    Why is there not a fix to stop a recognised spam operator, these problems must be easy for WordPress or Google to recognise. If I placed a spam link onto some’s website as an example, I am sure it would be recognised and kicked into touch!!
    Spammers cannot possibly hide their activities with an experienced person blocking them using a computer, must surely be the answer!! Warmest Regards, Anthony Glanfield.
