Good job on this. Does the plugin look up Akismet while SK2 calculates the karma?

Apparently the apostrophe in my name causes a problem with the comments on your site!

Thanks for this great plugin! I was debating which plugin to use (SK2 or Akismet) and now I can have the best of both!

Habe jetzt das SK2 Askimet Plugin auch installiert, nachdem mir heute ein spambot durch SK2 gerutscht ist.

Komischerweise funktionierte der Trackback nicht. Im Spamfilter haengengeblieben?

Great work! I recently noticed that some spam gets through the “bare” SK2 plugin. I hope the last remaining few commentspams get caught by this addition !

BTW: Nice theme.

I use Wordpress on my hosted account. I just unstalled SK2 and uploaded sk2_akismet_plugin.php to the proper directory. I do not see SK2-Askimet on the plugin screen. Is it just working automatically?

I meant to write installed, not unstalled!

Thanks. I finally figured out how to get the API key, from a Wordpress.com blog.

I noticed that SK2 is available under both the Manage tab and the Options tab. I use Wordpress v.2.0.2

Are you supposed to activate the Akismet plug-in that comes with WP?

Sebbi – Just for clarification’s sake. I upload your plugin and activate it. When I go to the plugin page in WP, I also see the Akismet plugin. I leave that deactivated. In the Spam Karma 2 options, under the plugins section, I enter my Wordpress API key. That’s it?

How do I know it’s “working”?

I’ve found what I think might be a bug. If I look in the approve comments section, the latest entry is clearly a SPAM trackback. So I check the box and have it run through Akismet. The red status text says “Submitted to Akismet as ham. Akismet say it’s SPAM.” After it reports that, nothing happens. It still just leaves it in the approved state.

1. How did it get to the approved state in the first place?
2. Barring that, how come after Akismet says it’s spam, it doesn’t get moved to moderated or the spam section?

Sebbi – You are correct on all fronts. I verified it is working. Also, I found out why my spam trackbacks and comments were still marked as valid. They all came from repeat offenders and apparently due to the Snowball Effect (granularity), this awards the commetner with like 500 points. There is nothing in the world that could cancel that out!

Hi. I don’t have much to add to the above except… this is awesome.

Thank you so much for the effort.

Okay, I do have one small request. Could you please add the line in so the plugin tells us what version it is? I believe you do it by adding a line like this in the variables:

var $plugin_version = 2.1;

Danke!

The version display doesn’t quite work. Try this:

var $plugin_version = 2.1;
var $show_version = true;

Note that it’s “$plugin_version” not “$version”.

With these two lines in there, the Spam Karma 2 options page will show the version of your plugin, which is awfully handy when we’re checking for updates!

Still awesome. Much cleaner than using a whole separate WP plugin for Akismet. Thanks.

well, let’s give this one a try then…

Been using both for a while, now I can let them work together! Thanks!

Where can I get it from?

Maybe Im missing something but…
Should I be keeping the Wordpress Akismet plugin active at the same time I have Spam Karma (with your plugin) active? Or should the Akismet plugin be de-activated?

Can you please add the “subscribe to comments” plugin? So you can notify us when you have released an update.

Yupp, you are right. So I don’t need the “legacy” akismet-plugin anymore when I have installed this version? The “problem” here is: akismet overrules all decisions made by the battery of sk2-plugins.

SK2 even is not learning when akismet is enabled. And is it possible to re-add the “Recent Spam Harvest” to the dashboard? (e.g. a link to YOUR_URL/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=spamkarma2&sk2_section=spam
?

Then I just need to check-out the dashboard. Btw: If you don’t know the right “hook” to use, try this:

add_action(‘activity_box_end’, ’sk2_admin_stats’;

Surely you need to code this function (not class method!)

Well, ich komme aus Deutschland, tippe aber lieber in Englisch meine Fragen, damit andere auch was verstehen!

Hmmm, I have a “legacy” (WordPress-native) anti-spam plugin here which targets on the POST request URI itself. They are up to 99.9999% like this: “POST /wp-comments-post.php” I asume here you have no sub-folders.

My plugins inserts with a ProtoType (so JavaScript) observer an unique string into it, e.g. “wp-comments-post-xxxxxxxxxx.php”. After the POST request mod_rewrite rewrites it back to “wp-comments-post.php?cpr_code=xxxxxxxxxx by xxxxxxxxxx is “server-unique data”.

Well, this might be a usefull plugin. So is there a tutorial or something where I can start with to code a “binding” to my legacy plugin? So when my plugin runs in SK2-mode it shall not run again in “legacy-mode”…

I abandoned Akismet a while ago since this script returns quite alot of false positive for me. Akismet is a decent service but it’s surely hard to prevent data poisoning (I bet that’s on the move right now) and a DoS attack.

@Sebbi: I have written now a “binding” – in truth it is a plug-in but it binds both legacy plug-ins together – for my plug-in. Thanks for your help anyway.

Just thought I’d let you know that from time to time, my API key deletes itself. My guess is that every once in a while, the Akismet servers get an error and falsely reports that my key is invalid. This makes your plugin delete my saved key.

I’ve edited your plugin for my own uses (to make it not remove my key on error), but I still thought I’d let you know.

Thanks for the plugin Sebbi. I’ve recommended this to a great number of people

I’m not that cool yet to need spam filtering. Most of that stuff comes via my blog that catches it.

Sebbi ist schuld! Ich wussts schon immer

gracias por el plugin

Is this plugin going to be updated for the new Akismet 2.0?

This is very great that you are sharing the good idea connecting to this post, but, I advice to use the assistance of the essay writers [Linked to: 4writers].
