Logging is handled by <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/threewp-activity-monitor/" rel="ugc">ThreeWP Activity Monitor</a>. See the list of logged activities to enable logging of caught spam.
Most spam is caught using “extra fields”. Rarely will spam require the use of “no author website” also. Extremely rarely will a spam bot be smart enough to include the hidden fields, leave them empty and leave the author URL empty.
Catching that last kind of spambot will require other measures.
<h4>Extra fields</h4>
Two extra fields are inserted into the comment form and hidden from view using CSS. They are to be left empty, and say as much, in order for the comment to pass.
Bots that spam by inserting fake POSTs will not have the required, invisible fields in the POST – rejecting the comment.
Bots that fill in all form fields will automatically fill in these extra fields – the comment will be rejected.
<h4>No author website</h4>
Comment authors are usually allowed to fill in their URLs. Selecting this technique will only allow comments that have an empty author URL field.
Bots that fill in all form fields will fail this test.
Note that you will need to edit your template to hide the author url input from view using <code>display: none</code>.

SD Simple Antispam

If you run a WordPress or BuddyPress installation, you probably know that some of the biggest administrative headaches come from the activation process. Activation emails may be caught by spam filters, deleted unwillingly, or simply not understood. Yet WordPress itself has no UI for viewing and managing unactivated members.
Unconfirmed creates a Dashboard panel under the Users menu (Network Admin > Users on Multisite) that shows a list of unactivated user registrations. For each registration, you have the option of resending the original activation email, or manually activating the user.
Note that the plugin works for the following configurations: 
1. Multisite, with or without BuddyPress 
2. Single site, with BuddyPress used for user registration
There is currently no support for single-site WP registration without BuddyPress.

Unconfirmed

Googled for "wordpress cancel pending users", this plugin can up as one of the top results, so installed, activated, and achieved exactly what I needed, inside of about 30 seconds. Literally perfect.

Did exactly what I needed

Nice, simple little plugin that makes it easy to get a user up and running when you have, for example, email deliverability issues.

Works as advertised

Thank you for this plugin. Not sure why such a feature isn't already part of Core, as it's very useful when managing a multisite!

This should be part of WP Core!
