I'm in Need of a WordPress Plugin

Ever since my number of visitors per day topped 100, my comment spam has increased. Every day it's a little bit more. The amount I get now is incredible! I'm looking for a plugin that can complement the Akismet plugin but doesn't take over any of its functions. I'm aware of the Bad Behavior and Worst Offenders plugin, but I want something that Akismet filters first and then the plugin allows me to put in keywords to automatically delete from the filtered list. Does this make any sense? I don't want ANY default characteristics.

If a plugin like this doesn't exist, it would be great if someone who has a LOT MORE knowledge of WordPress could whip one out for me. I'll bet I'm not the only one that could use a plugin like this. I would rather deal with going through the spam by hand than to accidentally delete comments with a plugin that's any more aggressive than that.

   In the back-end of WordPress, Options->Discussion there is an area you can add words to that may do part of what you want.

   Not what I'm looking for. The blacklist marks comments as spam but doesn't delete anything, which is what Akismet does as well.

   I'm using Spam Karma 2.

   It's a great plugin. You don't need anything else, not even Askimet.

   Seconding Spam Karma 2 - it wipes the floor with Akismet. Took about a day to teach it and then I never got a false positive and never had spam allowed through again. I've had to return to Akismet for a while and absolutely hate it.

   Thanks Hari, Peter, Ray. I'll check out Spam Karma and see if it'll do what I want.
