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!

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 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

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. :)

well, let’s give this one a try then…

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.

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

gracias por el plugin

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.

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

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!

Spam Karma 2 Akismet Plugin is great.I really want to install it thanks for developed these types of plugins…..:)
