# Comment spam — using multiple plugins?

 * Right now I’m using Anti-spam image [http://www.infor96.com/~nio/archives/369](http://www.infor96.com/~nio/archives/369)
   which makes users type in a code to submit a comment AND I moderate all comments.
   So, although I’ve been getting 10-20 spams a day, I’m able to delete them all
   in my admin screen.
 * My questions are:
    1. Can I continue using this plugin AND start using Akismet?
   2. Is there a benefit to using both plugins?
 * Thanks for any input! Peace.

 * You can in general use multiple anti-spam plugins at once. Many of them use different
   techniques, so in certain cases you might find one plugs holes in another.
 * Akismet should catch a lot of what you are seeing. If you’re using an image-test
   procedure, and getting lots of spam anyway, you may find you can get rid of it(
   or replace it with something else better/newer) in combination with Akismet. 
   I hear people running Bad Behavior, Akismet, and SpamKarma 2 all in combination.

 * I’m using Spam Karma 2 and Akismet side-by-side and haven’t had any problems.
   However, Bad Behaviour has an unusual tendency to block me and folks I know (
   nothing bad on their systems, not using spiders, etc.), so I’ve avoided it.
 * You might as well try and see, as what happens with one blog isn’t necessarily
   going to happen with another. My trouble with BB, for example, could just be 
   a freak accident and it could work miraculously for you.
