    Here’s the story. Ever since my blog has started to get hits from people other than word-of-mouth, I’ve received a load of spam comments advertising websites I won’t mention here. It’s annoying to receive a million emails saying there’s a new comment in moderation, and having to moderate them all. I know I can probably turn off email notification, but that’s not the idea of it. I need some way to get a image verification (where you see an image and type the letters and/or numbers into the box) before users can leave comments.

    Is this possible in both 2.1 and 2.0?

    I had a huge problem with Spam as well. I tried a ton of different plugins, all of which were mediocre at best. Then, I found Spam Karma. SP is by far the best anti-spam plugin I have found. I’m no way saying that there aren’t ones that are better, but I’ll put it this way. I tried 12 different anti-spam plugins, and this one worked the best:
