If I am idly scanning my comments and notice a particular spamming "LOL" type one, usually I just remove the link from it and all is well.

Coincidentally, I just replaced it with Simple Tags on "Bracing Your Brand" today and I might do it on my other sites soon as well. The beauty of this plugin is it allows you to transfer all your tags over to a new plugin called Simple Tags. Reason being, it's a lot faster than UTW and it has a nifty "related posts" function which I have added to my blog. The benefits to this are two fold - It helps stick my readers to my blog and SEOwise, it creates a nice linking structure within my blog.<br><br>Also, I've had a bit of trouble with Top Commentators. I've had a lot more spam on my blog over the past few weeks it's been enabled, so I've been forced to add the "nofollow" attribute to the links in it. I do use Dofollow as well because I believe in rewarding my users with backlinks, but lately I've been questioning that as well.<br><br>I like the idea of the Custom Contact form though - that sounds very useful for me. I receive so much spam from contact forms on two Bike sites I run but nowhere near as much as I would than if I used my email address in there. It makes a lot of sense as spammers don't get your email address at all that way! I think I'll add a "Contact Me" page to my blog! :P I'd have to disagree with you on UTW.
