Spam Karma 2 Akismet Plugin

I have updated the Spam Karma 2 Akismet Plugin that was released as BETA some months ago. I don’t want to be like all those hip web 2.0 permanent betas, so we leave this state for now. I bumped the version number of this small plugin to 2.0 and made some modifications:

  • fixed a logic error which prevented the plugin to submit some corrections to Akismet.com
  • changed some strings and default values (now checks against Akismet.com more often to give that service more to eat)
  • there is now a little readme in the php-file
  • fsockopen could produce php warnings which revealed the wordpress.com api key which was fixed, too

The location of the plugin is the same as before: sk2_akismet_plugin.zip

Make sure you have an installed Spam Karma 2.x, download the zipfile, unzip it to your wp-content/plugins/SK2/sk2_plugins directory and enter your WordPress.com Api Key (now available for free if you sign up there and I should get money for referring people there *g*) in the Spam Karma 2 settings. Finished! Nothing more to do for you :-)
If you are upgrading, you only need to copy the sk2_akismet_plugin.php from the zip over your old one.

Have a spamless blog and a good time!

P.S.: Bug reports go into the comment section. Thanks!

P.P.S.: 156 downloads of the beta in the last 3 months. Thanks!

Update:
Version 2.1 now features the display of its own version and I have recorded 640 downloads so far :-)

    I’ll let you have your link despite or because the great effort you put in the writing of this comment. I like it, but normally Akismet should catch this kind of spam, so beware ;-)

    Top work on the new plugins – One of the fundamental flaws initially was how frequently everything was cross-checked with askimet.com – it’s great to see that you have improved this.

    Some really good stuff, is it possible to talk more through hotmail or gtalk? add me on Gtalk, you have my email on form.

    Cheers

    Thanks Sebbi for allowing my post to stand. My post was never intended as spam as i genuinely do use the Akismet plug-in and was glad to find a blog which was talking about the experiences other users had.

    I felt it best to post about my experience using Akismet for other potential users of this plug-in to see.

    Thanks again.

    This sounds like a great plugin bringing the best of Akismet and Spam Karma 2. Like most wordpress users I’d been using Akismet to filter out spam comments and was thinking of switching to Spam Karma when I came across ur post. Guess what I’m going to install now instead? ;)

    Thanks a lot!
