You can insert a validation form prior to the comment publishing, verifying that the comments are submitted by real people but not a spam.

Captcha is your best friend for that kind of issue.

 

[Gogol]

Either implement ReCaptcha, or (the easier way) just delete the content of your theme's comment template (be sure to keep a backup though).

captcha and blacklist some keywords they mainly use

Install Akismet plugin

 

[oliver22]

i think in this situation captcha will really solve your problems. good luck

Askimet is a good option and easy to implement.

 

[rexstacy]

Captcha, askimet are good option

Also you can install a plugin that makes all external links nofollow, It will help you reduce the spam since most people have their campaing setup for ******** links only
that will ensure (in most cases) that they don't spam you more than once.

How do i implement the Captcha ??

 

[Wiggles]

Most popular is https://en-au.wordpress.org/plugins/really-simple-captcha/
But if you search the plugin section you'll find a few others too.

You can always have a robot check people must complete before posting a comment, like the “I’m not a robot” check or a Captcha plugin. Either one should deter most fake commenters. Hope it works, good luck.

Don't spam your site with unnecessary plugins. Just find above comment in your wordpress settings.

With some sort of captcha plugin. There is a ton of them, free ones that you can use. They work great. It will stop most of the comments.

Askimet helps pretty well. You can activate it for free

If you dont want comments, you can just disable it

If you dont want comments, you can just disable it

Or just ignore them and don't approve any?

 

[KinkyGuy]

In my own way, I either use captcha or delet the comment section entirely if I dont want it.
