Spam Karma 2.0 unleashed
October 25th, 2005 | by Tim Wilson |There was a period of relative calm that lasted almost six months, but that ended a few weeks ago when the comment spammers descended on my blog. Almost overnight I was dealing with 30–50 spam comments per day. At least 95% of them were stopped by the common spam words blacklist that I maintain in WordPress, but that just puts them in a moderation queue that I have to check periodically. It was getting to be quite an annoyance.
Enter Spam Karma 2.0. This WordPress plugin has stopped my comment spam cold, and it doesn’t even require me to moderate the comments that it traps. It’s intercepted nearly 1,000 comment spams in a little more than a week and hasn’t had a single false positive. Run, don’t walk, to install Spam Karma if you’re using WordPress.

Yeah. Spam Karma 2 has been absolutely rock solid for me - blocking tens of thousands of spam attempts without me even knowing about them - without any evil Captchas or the like. Very happy camper!
