TCH-Tim Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 Spinoff from another topic.... If you have a WordPress blog, and you don't have Spam Karma installed, drop what you are doing and go get it. Now. I took Bruce's advice and finally got around to installing it, and it's working already. Good, good stuff. Quote
chatbug Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 Erm... I'm using Akismet now... is that not good enough? Anyway, I'll go checkout Spam Karma 2... Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 I never used Akismet but if it's working for you and your happy with it, keep using it. I have been using Spam Karma for over a year and in that time I have only had one spam comment slip through. Quote
abinidi Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 Yay for another SK2 convert! I don't know how I'd manage my blog without it. It is SO cool. Glad it works for you. Quote
TCH-Tim Posted April 28, 2006 Author Posted April 28, 2006 It has snagged 209 comment spams in it's first 15 hours. Apparently I have made it onto somebody's radar. Normally that would have been 209 comments sitting in moderation that I would have to clear, along with 209 emails in my inbox telling me I have to moderate some comments. *TCH-Tim likes Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 Glad you're liking it. I don't even moderate comments on my blog anymore with SK2 installed. Quote
chatbug Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 Well, I installed SK2 in addition to Akismet, just-in-case... forgot who's post I read, someone said he got several hundred spam post out of nowhere, so I think I'll play safe. Hehe... BTW, Akismet comes free with WP2, and is supposed to be anti-spam as well. It needs an API key from WordPress.com though... Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 I started using SK back when I had a version 1.2 WP blog. Since it worked so well I didn't see a need to activate Akismet when I upgraded to version 2 of WP. Quote
abinidi Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 I've also never activated Askimet. Spam Karma takes care of all my spam control needs. *Paul contemplates a SK2 commercial... mabye a special SK2 jingle... Quote
