Raven’s antispam – powerful and invisible fighter against comment spam. No set-up necessary, install and forget.
<h4>Details</h4>
Visitors with enabled JavaScript (99%+) see nothing – no annoying questions, no captcha, nothing. (Users with disabled JS see an additional text-field and a word that must be rewritten into the textfield.)
Note: this plugin is not able to check your trackbacks – to handle trackback spam, it’s necessary to use some other solution. (I recommend to disable trackbacks globally, since they rarely bring any benefit for your readers.) <a href="http://kahi.cz/wordpress/ravens-antispam-plugin/" rel="nofollow ugc">more…</a>.

Decent Comments shows what people say.
If you want to show comments along with their author’s avatars and an excerpt of their comment, then this is the right plugin for you.
And it’s not limited to just a widget showing recent comments: The plugin provides configurable widgets, shortcodes and an API to display comments in sensible ways, including author avatars, links, comment excerpts …
Anywhere you place comments, by means of a widget, a shortcode or an API call, you can:
<ul>
<li>Show an excerpt or the full comment. You can choose to not show the comment as well.</li>
<li>Determine the number of words shown for excerpts.</li>
<li>Set your kind of ellipsis.</li>
<li>Set the number of comments to show.</li>
<li>Show the author’s avatar and determine its size.</li>
<li>Sort by author email, author URL, content (what’s said in the comment), date, karma or post … in ascending or descending order.</li>
<li>Show comments for the current post or for a specific post.</li>
<li>Show comments for a specific post type.</li>
<li>Show comments for posts in specific categories, for specific tags, … (more precisely: the ability to show comments from posts related to one or more terms in a chosen taxonomy).</li>
<li>Show comments for a set of posts and/or excluding a set of posts.</li>
<li>and more to come … got suggestions?</li>
</ul>
