Spam is a serious issue, and when you build up your SEO network, you need to take it in mind seriously.
Any text box, any submit page, any comment page, any forum, any guestbook (too old, don’t use it), can be abused by spammers. You need to find spam blocking plugins for every engine you use.
You should make splogs minimalistic. From plugins, use the rss scraper like wp-o-matic, akismet, and a single template. Nothing else, because you are going to hog the server’s resources. Trust me, I know.
The only thing that works perfectly, and is seamless and worry free is akismet plugin. The filter not only uses a central database to find spam, but it also learns from its mistakes.
You will simply need to upload the plugin via FTP, and activate the plugin in wordpress. Then, you will need to type in your wordpress api key. You will find one, by making an account at www.wordpress.org, and go to the profile area to copy your api key. Note that down, so you can simply paste it in every splog you make.
