How is that obvious spamming? Sure enough, Akismet has been letting some "abuse" through, which we've been able to improve somewhat by enabling IP blacklisting in addition. But most "spammy" submissions that Akismet has been letting through didn't contain the typical payload of link spam. Simply because someone submits the same (or very similar) content to a number of different tickets isn't something Akismet was designed to catch AFAIK (especially without training), and would require a different strategy in the SpamFilter plugin. If you have any ideas I'm all ears. But keep in mind that those spammers frequently neither submit from the same IP address nor have a long-lived session (if any at all). The latter may be an indicator in itself.
