And that's what I've been doing for the past 3 months or so & I still get on an average 130-140 spam comments per week. Spammers just don't know that they won't get PageRank on my blog, they just spam, spam & spam, damn them!! And that's not only my problem, but a lot of people have this redirector denying any links in comments PageRank but they also face the same music. So that may be effective in denying PageRank but that's not any measure to counter comment spam.
