(Mike is of Telagon Sichelputzer whom I refered to above http://www.sichelputzer.de/.) As you suggest, I have installed BadBehavior. http://www.ioerror.us/software/bad-behavior/ It looks like a good first line of defence against known spambots, stopping them accessing the site at all. I hope it doesn't ban others too, though. I take your point that in an extreme case a blogger can get sued over a comment. This is what is happening at SEO Book. http://www.seobook.com/archives/001131.shtml. My feeling is that this problem is of a different order from spam. Comments that might go too far on legal grounds do not come in by tens and even hundreds as spams do. If you are really worried by a comment on legal grounds, you can delete it after it has arrived.

At our site, only those comments pass that patrol-automatism which are made by real human beings. However, I prefer to keep them in a moderation queue once before auto-approving them in the future. It seems to be necessary in these days - bloggers get sued for comments, and nobody wants to get sued, or not? ;) There’s a plugin named BadBehavior which appears to be the best for comment-filtering.
