Hi there,

Sorry for the spam[ish] pitch, but you ought to upgrade your install of SK. I see you are still using Spam Karma 1, and it’s got some serious problems with false positives, as well as a few unfixed bugs (it hasn’t been updated in many months now).

Spam Karma 2 (SK2) is objectively many times better, and most importantly, much more careful about false positives. It’s also a simple drag-n-drop to install…

Please consider giving it a try. If not for you, for my own peace of mind (yea, this pitch is not completely disinterested: I am trying to eradicate all obsolete installs of SK1 still running on the web, in the desperate hope of cutting down a bit on the small but persistent number of SK1-related death threats I receive each day).

Cheers!

Make mine a third vote for Spam Karma. I put it on my newest blog and no comment spam has made it through so far. Spaminator is good, but I think Spam Karma is better.

Honestly I’d recommend upgrading to WP1.5. I did it on all my blogs remarkably painlessly.

Spam Karma is the answer. I use it with WP 1.2.2 and it works great!

I’m a big fan of Spam Karma after moving to it from Spaminator. I’m not sure how suited it is to 1.2 but works great for wordpress 1.5
