use all anti spam plugins i dont use askimet but i use every single other 1! , also have you updated to 1.8.1.7 ? use ip tracer etc and find out what is going on and report it to the right people, i am sure others will have more info for you hope this helps : )
Thanks for your reply UK
anti spam plugins activated but it throw error:
"You have enabled the Webgalli_Antispammer plugin, but have not provided the API Key"
Plugin name:Webgalli Antispammer 5.177
are you using Toms plugin? elgg hammer and spam login filter? they are the main plugins and of course captcha theres lots of those Toms is less well known by spammers so might be better than google re-captcha, send webgali a message in the mean time disable that plugin and use the others
