As long as comments are allowed there will be comment spam. There are hundreds of this same spam post on hundreds of different blog posts on AR where they pick older posts to comment on so there is less chance of it getting deleted. As long as blog owners do not monitor and delete these spam posts they will continue and they are not getting deleted.

It is not up to AR to delete these comments!!!! It is up to the individual blog owners to monitor and delete these spam posts. If blog owners are not monitoring their comments they should lose the ability to have comments on their blogs.
