Don't allow open content. It is better to do a manual review then it is to spend hours cleaning up a SPAM mess.

Exactly. Make them take 3 minutes to sign up, and then have it to where you review the content. The content will be a lot better, and you wont have any spam
No, I don't quite agree with this. When a random blog surfer visit a new blog, I'm like why I can't give my view on this and I'll leave and never come back.
If someones spam frequently, you can just delete it. Maybe I'm saying this because I've never being spammed that much before.

When you have to delete thousands of spam comments, you'll start thinking otherwise.

You might want to reconsider allowing open comments. After cleaning up just one mess you will wish you had.
One of my sites requires registration and still gets SPAM on a daily basis.
It is much easier for me to hit the approve button then to have to read all the comments for that day to figure out what is real and what is SPAM.
The spammers are very smart, they find way to get in your blog, few write like this; "hi, I find this very useful blog, Thanks for sharing" and leave a spammy links there. :shuriken:
No sign-up for Commenting, but if you want to give someone rights to make posts, then you should definitely require sign up. Like Fredto said, What Akismet catches alone, on a weekly basis, is scary, and that's only comment spam.
