"Hey OP, I've had some experience with this. You might want to check out 'StopForumSpam' or 'Mollom' for easy plugins that detect and block spammers. Both of 'em have a good track record and are relatively easy to set up."

"Just installed and been testing the Bad Behavior plugin on one of my servers, been working like a charm. Blocks a bunch of suspicious IPs and reduces spam significantly. Easy to set up too, would recommend giving it a shot."

"Hey OP, you might wanna check out ModSecurity, it's a popular Apache plugin that's specifically designed to combat spam bots. I've used it in the past and it's been pretty effective, you can also customize it to fit your needs. Worth giving it a shot, imo."
