RedBrick is able to block most of the automated spam comments a WordPress blog receives daily.
It is based upon a score system that ensures spam comments are blocked as soon as possible, so as to minimise the number of checks each comment must go through. When in doubt, RedBrick always holds the comment in the moderation queue. Comments identified as spam, however, never reach the database.
As a last resource in discerning the kind of comment under examination, RedBrick takes account also of the comment author’s history.
The plugin is designed to work on low-to-medium traffic blogs.

“Block Spam Comment” definitely blocks comments of bots without settings or Captcha.
The three systems of “Block Spam Comment” using JavaScript make it impossible for bots to post comments, because bots cannot use JavaScript. Spam comments are not saved, so it reduces load on your server and save time to delete spam comments.
You can see how many spam comments were blocked and data about IP and user agent of bots. You also can download the csv file with that data.
