[...] Je me rends sur le site officiel de Spam Karma (Mise à jour 2005-02-04: nouvelle adresse du site officiel de Spam Karma). On y trouve une bonne explication de la manière dont fonctionne le plugin Spam Karma et les autres plugins qui ont inspiré l’auteur de Spam Karma. En résumé, ça donne: blocks spam with no unnecessary annoyance, for you or your visitors. The way it should be. En plus long: This plugin mixes together many different spam-fighting techniques, reusing some, adding a few, to automatically detect and delete most of your comment spam, only moderating the most ambiguous ones. In addition, flagged commenters are offered the possibility to moderate their own comments by solving Captchas, which makes life easier for both legit commenters and blog owner (less moderation to bother with).

[...] Just how many anti-spam tools are enough? Following Ryan’s lead, I installed Bad Behavior on ultramookie. This will work (hopefully) in conjunction with Akismet and Spam Karma. I don’t get many spams slipping past Akismet or Spam Karma, but what’s a little more protection? Bad Behavior is also advertised as blocking the bots from loading the pages through some automagical detection routines. That’s something that I had been looking for ever since the move away from my home server which I could run mod_security on. Let me know if you see any funkiness! [...]

Fight Wordpress Comment Spam

He estado unos días eligiendo el aspecto, instalando algún plugin interesante (como el Spam Karma 2, (¡gracias Isra!) que de momento gana la batalla contra Secure Image, que me dio a conocer Álvaro) y familiarizándome con la interfaz de gestión. Espero escribir más frecuentemente que antes, contar más cosillas técnicas y atreverme un poco más con la opinión. Vamos, que si antes era aburrido, ahora lo va a ser más. ¡Adelante! [...]

To Whom It May Concern,
I just attempted to leave a comment in response to another comment at Jinlynch.com and your stupid program blindly and without ANY reason and/or merit, deleted and would not allow my comment to be posted! Before unleashing parasitic and socially cancerous programs such as yours to regelate and control speach in a open and public forum, you should be sure it’s fair and just in it’s operation! I’ll be contacting my attorneys in the morning to pursue legal action against the creaters of this hidious program. No society can truly be free when there are forces who have unilateral and uncontrolled power to regulate social commentary! See’ya in court.

@Dr Dave
I didn’t check back on your response until today. I figured it out myself sometime back why Spam Karma hates me
My internet traffic from home is going through a IP of my hosting provider, which it uses for the whole city of Kolkata/Calcutta, India. Presumably someone used it to spam. More likely they had some virus/malware on their machine which did the damage. Actually there was one such incident which clogged all traffic for few hours. So anyone I also am forced to send my traffic from this unfortunate IP address. And as you can see there nothing much I can do about it. I can delist from SBL, but if someone from the entire city sends a spam it will surely be listed again.
My question is why not force a CAPTCHA in such cases. And why not give a more polite message. It feels like commenters are being incarcerated without trial
I can tell you as a commenter and as a blogger (from 2001) the SK messages are terribly insulting and due to such false positive issues as above can hurt legitimate viewers of a site.
Also realize that 99% of spammers use a bot of some kind to spam. Insulting messages don’t deter bots. And spammers are surely thick skinned too, otherwise they wouldn’t be spamming in the first place.
So in the end real users get the brunt of Spam Karma language bombs, if I may say so

spam karma banned one of my best friends! she’s a legit wordpress user herself and is not at all IT savvy. i have no idea why spam karma would ban her as she is always polite and kind (she’s a grandmom forheavensakes).

my spam karma settings at the time were on moderate and i did not touch the other settings as setup advised that if I didn’t know what i was doing to leave well enough alone.

what went wrong?
