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 :-)

    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 Ajay (fixed that apostrophe error). The plugin checks the comment against Akismet after SK2 calculated the karma. You can change that behaviour by assigning different values to the „register_plugin“ function call at the bottom of the php file, but the default (executed as the last plugin) should be ok for everyone.

  37. Avatar von sygyzy

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

  38. Avatar von Sebbi

    Hello sygyzy, no you aren’t. This plugin here is a complete implementation (you may say copy) of the original plugin. The wordpress plugin api doesn’t allow for multiple plugins to classify a comment … only the last one that sees the comment decides if it’s spam or ham. Therefor this „copy“ of the original was neccessary :-)

  39. Avatar von sygyzy

    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“?

  40. Avatar von sygyzy

    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?

  41. Avatar von Sebbi

    sygyzy, yes that’s it. You know it’s working when you hover over the karma points of a comment and you see „Akismet says it’s ok/spam“. Not all comments (those already having a pretty hight negative karma) get send to Akismet for classification, so it may not appear everywhere.

    The bug: it’s not a bug, it’s a feature. Running the Akismet check over a comment again only adds/subtracts the karma points of this check (default: 7). This may not be enough to turn the comment into spam. If you want to do that you have to click on „moderate selected“. SK2 automatically moves the marked comments to the spam section and sends a notification to Akismet that it was wrong about the comment.

    @1. You can see the reasons for the karma value if you hover (mouse over) over the points.
    @2. If other modules of SK2 decided it’s ham and gave the comment enough points, Akismets default -7 points (saying it’s spam) might not be enough. I implemented it this way because Akismet isn’t always the better choise (SK2 alone is very good in the spam fight). If you feel the Akismet check should have more to say, update its strength (general setting) to strong or supastrong :-)

  42. Avatar von sygyzy

    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!

  43. Avatar von Sebbi

    The „Snowball Effect“ is indeed a problem if the first spam comment was identified as ham. While it never happened on my blog I imagine deleting hundreds of false-positives wouldn’t be a lot of fun. However the author of SK2 wrote something about bayesian filters and neural nets for the next version in a news update. I’m looking forward to that (in hopes it further hinders those nasty spamers out there) :-)

  44. […] Spam Karma 2 + AkismetThis is probably the best anti-spam method you can adopt for your blog at the moment. To implement this, you’ll have to install both Spam Karma 2 and Akismet, as well as a special SK2 plugin that somewhat integrates them both. It is a bit of overkill though. […]

    Thank you so much for the effort. :)

  48. Avatar von Stephen Rider

    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!

  49. Avatar von Sebbi

    Thank you for the request. I modified the plugin that it shows its version.

    Lately I discovered an annoying bug: SK2 does not seem to be able to recover or moderate multiple comments at once. I don’t know if my plugin causes this or if it’s a general problem of the newest SK2-release.

  50. Avatar von Stephen Rider

    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.

  53. Spam Karma 2 Askimet Plugin…

    I have just installed the SK2 Askimet Plugin as I have read here respectively here that there exists a new generation of spambots which will defeat the standard protection by Spam Karma 2.
    I can confirm this as I had one spam trackback in my blog this …

Hingegen hat Akismet als “stand-alone” Spamschutz offenbar immer noch einige Probleme, Spam relativ zuverlssig zu unterbinden. […]

  56. […] Saturday was an interesting day and several things happened. One of them was not so good and I won't go into details on this blog. However, a pact was established that I feel good about living up to. In better news, I did make it to the Starbucks shop and got myself a tall decaffeinated coffee with Half & Half. I did a little bit of reading and then, got bored and left. Right now, Spam Karma 2 has stopped 457 spam comments with an average karma of -455.18. It has approved a total of 72 comments with an average karma of 9.89. And about 95% of 11 moderated comments have turned out to be spam. The common thread between these moderated spam comments was the relatively low karma of being in the range of -2 to -10. Still, it's doing a pretty good job of protecting my little old blog and I, for one, will be eternally grateful to Dr. Dave from Unknown Genius. I used to be an Akismet user, but it does haven't the feel of total control that SK2 lets me have. However, I've done some internet trolling and discovered that a Spam Karma 2 plugin to utilize Akismet has been created. Neato. I am uploading the plugin to test it out and let's hope I can find my WordPress API key. If not, I'll just have to log into my WordPress.com account. […]

    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?

  60. Avatar von Sebbi

    Hi Dave and thanks for asking!
    The original Akismet plugin (shipped with WordPress) is not needed and it should not be activated next to an active Spam Karma installation.

    The reason i wrote this SK-plugin was because you can not have multiple cooperating spam plugins in WordPress. This SK-plugin is escentially the original Akismet plugin rewritten to work with Spam Karma, because Spam Karma has an interface for other spam fighting mechanisms.

  63. […] My third line of defense is what I believe really puts this method over the top. Anyone who has used WordPress has probably heard of Akismet, especially as it comes included with the most recent version of WordPress. Normally it runs as its own WordPress plugin, but I use it as just one of the many tests within Spam Karma, which I believe is more effective — the combination of the two is greater than the sum of them separately.

    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! ;)

  66. Avatar von Sebbi

    Hello Quix0r,

    I believe such a function (showing up on the dashboard) should and probably can only be handled by Spam Karma itself. But development of SK has essentially been halted for the last few months … maybe Dr Dave has lost interest in this or he thinks it’s good enough (it really is!!!) for the time being, I don’t know :-)

  67. Avatar von Quix0r

    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“…

  68. Avatar von Sebbi

    I might not really understand what you want to do, but if you are trying to write a „plugin“ for Spam Karma, please refer to the documentation (including sample code) shipped with Spam Karma.

    Nice idea, btw. I think somebody has already brought that up on the wp-hackers list. Was that you?

    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. :)

  78. Avatar von Sebbi

    Thanks for the heads up. I also thought if it would be more elegant to only check the validity of the key when it changed (like the regular Akismet plugin does) and not on every view of the adminpage.

    P.S.: my API key deleted itself on the recent DNS outage of Akismet, but never before …

  79. […] Hace unos días que los usuarios de WordPress hemos visto como ha subido considerablemente la cantidad de spam. Esto se debió a una falla en el servicio de Askimet, para quienes no saben Askimet es un sistema al que, mediante un plugin, cada vez que se realiza un comentario en el blog, el mismo se envía a ese sistema para ser analizado. Los análisis se hacen con diversos test (blacklist de spammers, cantidad de links, etc.) y si un comentario es identificado como spam se guarda en la base de datos por 15 días para que el usuario decida si es o no spam y si el usuario no realiza ninguna acción se elimina. Lo bueno de este sistema es que todos los análisis se realizan en otro servidor, que es el de Askimet con lo cual nuestos sistemas se ven mas libres para operar agilizando la navegación, lo malo es que si el sistema de Askimet se cae quedamos totalmente desprotegidos, como nos pasó a más de uno entre el domingo y lunes pasados. Sabiendo esto es que muchos de nosotros ponemos sistemas antispam adicionales, como esa suma que había debajo de mis formularios de comentarios (y que a muchos les trajo varios dolores de cabeza), la caída de Askimet nos sirvió para testear el funcionamiento de esta segunda muralla de defensa contra el spam en WP. Particularmente los resultados fueron desastrosos, la suma ess a veces no dejaba comentar a usuarios reales y dejaba pasar bastante spam (que bloqueaba Askimet), por ello es que decidí sacar ese plugin. En lugar de eso instalé como segunda medida el "Spam Karma 2" que es un "miniaskimet" en nuestro propio hosting, lo conocí a través de Mangas Verdes (que dicho sea de paso tuvo el mismo problema mío pero elevado a la 20 por la cantidad de visitas de ese blog). El plugin es muy configurable en el grado de dureza del análisis, realiza varios test parecidos a los de Askimet e inclusive tiene un plugin adicional que permite compatibilizar Askimet con SK2, con lo cual uno se evita de tener que bajar Askimet e instalarlo. Para utilizar Askimet necesitan una clave API que se obtiene registrandose gratuitamente en Word Press, como para muchos la clave API es una barrera para usar Askimet en la lucha contra el spam les dejo aquí un link en donde se explica la manera de obtener esta clave.Bueno ya saben, no mas romperse la cabeza con numeritos, vamos a ver como funciona SK2.

    Akismet plug-in is really a nuce plug in in wordpress…..

    Great plug in! It has met my every need in terms of a spam checker. It has reduced the amount of spam i receive in my other blogs significantly!

    I can’t wait for the next update of this plug in. I can only think this can go from strength to strength in its development.

    I will certainly be bookmarking this and forwarding it on to friends and co-workers to see about using this plug in when they next think about writing a blog.

    Great information and a great post. Thanks for sharing.

    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!
