I installed Akismet plug-in to catch spam. So far, 56,380 spam have been caught since I put spam-fighting plug-in, and there have been nearly 200 spam caught per day. Before stalling plug-in, I have trouble problems with spam that attacked my blog. Now, it is running better than before, because no need to delete all spam in blog comments.
Even though, I have some problems a little bit with spam that is still attacking my blog. Akismet plug-in cannot catch all spam attacking my blog. At least 3-6 spam cannot be caught by fighting-spam plug-in. By the way, Akismet sometimes mistakenly caught legitimate comments (comments that are coming from real commentators) by being categorized as spam.
Therefore I frequently re-check to ensure all of the spam before deleting from my database, avoiding deleting legitimate comments that got through first. Meanwhile, all spam is automatically deleted after 15 days.

That’s what I hate about wordpress, brother!
