TechBuzz: Stop, Don’t hit that Delete Spam Button

  • Steven Bao · 3 years ago
    Great suggestions - I myself was dissatisfied with Akismet, so I downloaded myself a copy of Spam Karma 2 this morning. Also, Capacha works sometimes but hurts your reputation a bit.

    Thank you for this post!

    Yes Steven, . I think the combination of Bad Behavior and SK2 works very efficiently, but BB isn't compatible with WP-Cache :(

    I have use Spam karma 2 for long time... I quite satisfied with this services.

    I definitely know the feeling with Akismet as it kept catching your comments. It seems okay now, but it's catching TechZ's now. Can't escape it ;)

    I'll be switching over to SK2, as well, sometime. :)

    Nyssa: I used a proxy to leave comments on your blog, else it would have been caught again.

    Sindhu: Sorry, I couldn't save your previous comments. I get around 900 Spams a day and I can't go through each one of them.

    I've always used SK2 and BB on my blog.

    Never bothered much with Akismet, though I do use it as a plugin for SK2.

    You may want to take a look at my article here.

    SK2 + Akismet + Bad Behaviour !!

    That's simply Insane

    I initially used to use SK2, but since the past two months have been using Akismet, I have not experienced any problems with it as such, but I like both SK + Akismet, so I think i will have to take a look at Ajay's guide.

    Day 1: Disabled Akisment, Installed SK2+BB2

    Never looked back.

    TecHZ: SK2 doesn't work on my end, I'm forced to use Akismet.

    Your Comment was caught in my Spambox, Good thing, I verified it once.

    I've never used anything but Askimet and have been quite happy with it. Of course I don't have to sort though 900 spam comments a day either!

    I just go in and skim scroll through them a couple times a day before I hit delete. It has been well over a month since I got a false positive on either of my blogs.
