Since then, I've been receiving numerous spam comments which I didn't get while my blog was hosted with Typepad. Guess one of the drawbacks of using Wordpress is the absence of an integrated Spam blocking mechanism. However, the benefits of migration so far outweighs the disadvantages. Guess all I'll have to do is to find a solution to this. Probably the OpenID solution suggested by Aaron would be a possible remedy. Cheers!

A bug in some versions of the Top Commentator plugin allow a spammer to ‘take over’ a top commentators spot even it the spammer is in the Akismet filter. If you use this widget you have to keep a close eye on who’s on it, particularly if you have it set to start over again at the first of the month.

Usually I would let it slide if I was on auto-pilot. But thankfully, they don't know my Top Commenters' email addresses, so it goes into moderation. Then when I see "Aruni" and it links to said male-member elongating services, I've been able to delete them instead of letting them through.
