[...] Spam Karma 2 – Reloaded [...]

Heliologue: yea, the irony doesn’t escape me…
Fact is, this page has a very high PR and is prime choice target for spammer, with or without the added bonus of the topic of the page itself. The reason most of these spams make it through SK2 is that, they aren’t real automated spams: most do not advertise anything (only “test” keywords or some random gibberish), some are even posted manually (with someone filling in the captcha)… I suspect at least half of these are not even professional spammers, just funny guys trying to make a point.

As I pointed out in the past, for the 5 or 10 minutes these doofus spent making a point, it takes me 10 seconds removing the comment *and* auto-banning their IP/URL *and* auto-submiting them to an RBL server where they will be served to every other SK2 users…

So really, they are doing us all a favour by making it much easier to pinpoint them.

I noticed a few bugs in the SK2 admin page. I’m running the final version and when I go to Manage > Spam Karma 2 the SK2 tabs at the top need to be dropped down a line. They run right up against the WP tabs.

Second, you said that once SK2 went final you would remove the log dumps at the bottom of each page. Is that still going to happen?

Finally, could you just choose one page to have the SK2 page on. I prefer it in Manage as that’s where the rest of the comment pages are.

Thanks for making a great plugin!

Spam Karma 2 Final Released!

Woe to comment spammers everywhere—Dr Dave has released Spam Karma 2 final.

…

[...] If you’re running WordPress, run – don’t walk – and install Spam Karma 2. Best spam killer I’ve ever seen. And it’s transparent – no captcha’s or false-turing-test-attempts involved at all. It’s a work of art. Shared blacklists. Regular expression matching for blocked comments/trackbacks. And way more. [...]

[...] Nach und nach habe ich meinen Blog nun erweitert. So gibt es eine Linksammlung und aus dem Disclaimer wurde ein ganzes About Me. Weiter habe ich einen kleinen Counter angefügt und bin auf Spam Karma 2 umgestiegen. Noch habe ich keinen Spam und ich hoffe das bleibt möglichst lange so. Der Bärenmeister ist ein kleines Würfelspiel welches ich in ein Java-Applet gefasst habe. Außerdem habe ich mich mal bei flickr umgeschaut. Wenn ich mit der D5 soweit bin, wird sicher noch einiges hinzukommen. Wer Spaß am Backen hat, kann sich gern an meinem BackWiki beteiligen. Dort werde ich versuchen mit der Zeit eine große Sammlung an anständigen Rezepten zusammenzutragen. [...]

First let me say this is an excellent plugin. I have been using it since I started using wordpress. I just upgraded to 2.0 final R2, and I noticed that the admin portions shows up under “manage” as you indicated it would, but it also still shows under the options section. Is this just unique to me?

Cheers!

Google Sitemaps Generator creates an XML file that makes my blog’s entries more visible to Google’s search engine. And let’s not forget tagging: I registered my blog with Technorati, then installed Jerome’s Keywords in order to tag-enable my blog, and to index those tags with Technorati; also, Semiologic’s Extract Terms plugin is good for automagically pulling Yahoo! terms from my posts and feeding them to Terms2Tags plugin, which “turns your post’s Yahoo! terms into Technorati tags, for use to find related posts off your web site.” [...]

Jaya: this sounds like an old issue that should have been fixed by now. Please upgrade, try again and let me know if the issue keeps happening.

Richard Silverstein: Regarding the update info. I do better than dating my upgrades, I number them!
Whenever a new upgrade is out, all you have to do is compare the version to the one indicated in SK2’s admin screen (on top of the main option page) and upgrade if they differ. Furthermore, with SK2’s new notification option, you shouldn’t really have to worry about it: an update notice would appear whenever a new version is available.

Regarding this regex, it looks ok, but there are many ways somebody could extremely easily work around it (as it is, it wouldn’t even catch a capitalized variation of the same sentence). Regex are powerful and can be made to catch this sort of stuff, but they aren’t really user-friendly, so I would recommend sticking with IP or URL blacklisting if you aren’t used to them. The reason SK2 didn’t catch that comment the second time is probably that he didn’t use the same formulation. You can see SK2’s logs for each comments to see what happened.

Ian: SK2 automatically “retro-spank” older comments when it notices many attempts by a known spammer. This won’t happen before a certain threshold though. You could also manually go and moderate these in SK2’s control pages.

Tri: it sounds like you may need to upgrade SK2. If that doesn’t solve it, Westi (linked from SK2’s plugin option screen) is the one to contact about Digest plugin issues…

Richard:

Hmn… unless your stalker has *heaps* of time on his hands and a fairly good knowledge of the internet, chances are he won’t be able to endlessly change IPs… Whichever pool he has access to (anonymizer, office computers) will eventually run out. I would advise trying to blacklist his IPs for a while (you don’t have to enter them manually, SK2 does it for you when you select a spam and click on ‘moderate’) and see if new ones keep coming.
As I said, SK2 doesn’t really look at email addresses, as they are generally meaningless for comment spam. Indeed, SK2 overrides regular WP spam settings since they would be redundant. Westi has offered to enhance his current SK2 add-on to include all WP fields. Drop him all a note if you are interested.

I have a new install of SK-2 and am thrilled with it! It’s knocking off a couple thousand spam comments a week.

There’s some leakage though, from “anonymous” commenters dropping nonsense comments with no links and bogus e-mail addresses. Since these are running between 100-200/day, I’m pretty sure they’re not being hard-entered.

Could you suggest a means to simply prohibit “anonymous” entries?

Too, I’d love to find some documentation about all the various settings available in SK, but can’t seem to find any. I’d deeply appreciate a pointer.

Thanks for a fabulously helpful product.

[...] anti-spam plugins: Kitten’s Spam Words and Three Strikes SPAM update: now using Spam Karma 2 and Bad Behavior [...]

I find it interesting that I am considered a spam blogger when this is only the second blog ever in my over 25 years of bbs and internet experience that I have ever tried to post too and it was not spam. Apparently your filters need some serious work. I wouldn’t reccomend this filter to anyone if it can’t even tell the difference between a true comment and an ad or spam, especially considering there was no link in my post.

Whoa, Diana–slow down a bit. First, of course it’s a drag to be flagged as a spammer by SK2 so I feel for you there. But to throw the entire baby out with the bath water because of a single false positive? You’re going overboard. You’ve got to look at the overall utility of the plugin compared to its errors. It’s not going to be perfect since a human created it. But it comes closer than most other such tools I know.

So instead of denouncing SK2 & telling us you hate it & will never touch it w. a 10 ft. pole, why don’t you ask Dr. Dave & the rest of us some questions about what happened & try to find out what might’ve gone wrong? Whenever SK2’s failed for me that’s what I do & I learn valuable things from this.

[...] Just another reason to use this outstanding open source software from Wordpress. I remember when I was researching different blogging platforms. This was back when I was using Yahoo web hosting, the most restrictive, worst supported web host on earth. I really wanted to try Moveable type, but Yahoo was so restrictive on CGI scripts that I wasn’t able to use it. I also tried many other CGI-based blogging scripts, but none of them would work with Yahoo’s restrictiveness. After going through several php/mysql-based blogging platforms, I finally decided on Wordpress. One of the biggest determining factors for my decision was Wordpress’ outstanding support forums. I’ve had some quite complicated questions about Wordpress answered in under three minutes and usually have a solution within 15 minutes. The next biggest factor was the sheer amount of “plugins” that you can use with WP, which give the user added functionality. For example, on meeciteewurkor, I use several plugins to enhance the site and also protect it. I use three anti-spam plugins: Bad Behavior, Spam Karma 2, and Referrer Karma. This blog IS spam free, despite very frequent and massive spam attacks. Another plugin used here is Comment Quicktags which allows commenters the ability to easily format their comments and add hyperlinks. The contact form was easily made with a plugin from this fellow. You can find hundreds of useful plugins for WP here. New plugins come out all the time and you can even request a plugin or new feature at the WP support forums here. Wordpress also comes with literally thousands of different themes. The particular theme for meeciteewurkor is a modified version of this theme from Moshu. Here is an exhaustive list of many themes, and this list isn’t even complete as new themes come out every day. You can find even more themes. Or do a google search for about a million more. You can even make your own themes easily if you know enough CSS and PHP. [...]

Also I have upgraded to Spam Karma 2.0, which seems to be handling the spam beautifully.

I left a couple of comments elsewhere on the issue of SP2 overriding WordPress’ comment moderation capabilities. Dr Dave seems puzzled by this and that anyone would care. Richard Silverstein in his August 16, 2005 comment at 06:03 pm starts off with

“Dr. Dave wrote:

SK2 overrides regular WP spam settings since they would be redundant.”

Now that’s the mark of programming hubris, that your program is so good that you don’t need to use the base program’s own capabilities. The behavior of SP2 so far with my blog shows that it’s actually approving comments that are a form of spam.

SP2’s program logic should be to throw any comments it thinks are not spam into WordPress’ comment moderation queue, and let the blog owner decide whether the comment should be approved.

That said, even though I like the power of SP2, I have no choice but to stop using it until this design flaw is fixed.

Dave -

I’ve started to receive the following error in my SK2 logs. I believe it’s been since the upgrade, but I honestly can’t track it well:

Cannot load news from URL: http://wp-plugins.net/sk2/sk2_news.php?sk2_version=0&sk2_release=final

Dr Dave: I don’t feel at all as doctrinnaire as David Mattison about this issue. The term “hubris” was probably too strong. But I do think you’re missing something of David’s & my argument which is worth taking into acct. in terms of future development decisions for SK2. You yourself say that SK2 is not designed to catch human generated spam. Nor would it catch trolls, stalkers, etc. This is a serious problem for some of us whose blog’s deal w. controversial topics (or in Mattison’s case who get a good deal of human-generated spam).

For example, you once wrote to me that SK2 isn’t designed to monitor e mail addresses in its Blacklist. But the fact is that I’ve sometimes had stalkers who’ve used the same e mail address multiple times to leave harrassing comments. In this case, either having SK2 recognize blacklisted e mails OR allowing SK2 approved comments to be sent through the WP comment settings would prevent such comments fr. being published.

Also, I get multiple instances of first time commenters leaving abusive comments. Of course, SK2 is not designed to catch this type of thing nor do I expect it to. But by not sending such comments through the WP settings, I can’t stop such first-timers fr. getting their comments published whereas I could do this is SK2 cooperated w. the WP settings.

You say there’s no point in running SK2 if you want to moderate all comments. I do NOT want to moderate all comments. I basically only want to moderate first time comments AND any blacklist items that SK2 does not pick up which WP might. That’s why SK2 is still extraordinarily useful to me & I wouldn’t consider NOT using it.

As you say, Westi has expressed willingness to amplify SK2 so that it will allow send comments through WP settings. I’ve told him how useful this would be & how interested in it I am. But it’s been a few wks. now & I still haven’t heard anything (he mentioned he’d been sick for a few days). So I’m not sure where that leaves development on Westi’s proposed plugin. But I’ll be very eager to know when it’s available.

As I’ve mentioned here, I sometimes get assaulted with abusive comments when my site is linked at various forum sites.

After rooting around for answers & not being able to implement php script or .htaccess solutions I hit upon an idea to ban domain referrals that should work: using SK2’s domain black/greylist. What I want to do is prevent anyone coming to my site from the blacklisted domain fr. commenting at my blog.

But let me understand something: If I add the domain to the greylist that will put it in moderation, right? BUt if I use the blacklist that will automatically mark it as spam? Is that right?

Any other ideas I should be aware of in trying to use this solution?

Just thought of a reason this prob. won’t work. I don’t want to ban the domain of the visitor. I want to ban the domain of the referrer (since I can’t know in advance what the visitor’s domain will be but I CAN know the domain that will refer him/her to my site since other abusive commenters to my blog will have preceded the visitor coming fr. the referrer domain).

Does that make sense? Can someone confirm for me whether or not SK2 will work for me in this scenario.

[...] Others have suggested that I use WordPress’ comment moderation settings to give me the control I seek. In truth, those people are right. WP’s comment settings are terrific. My problem is that I judge spam to be a worse problem than comment abuse; and SpamKarma2 is one of the best anti-spam plugins I know. One of SK2’s unfortunate behavior’s is that it disables WP’s comment settings. Westi has kindly offered to create an SK2 plugin modification which would allow all comments to go through WP comment settings BEFORE going through SK2’s anti-spam settings. When Westi is done, then I’ll have the best of both worlds. Until then, I have to ask for fixes as problems arise. [...]

Richard

I am afraid you misunderstood the use of Greylist (I think I discussed it before, but it appears that comment was on the beta page… wiki badly needs updating, unfortunately I really don’t have time for it now):
- Greylist forces SK2 to ignore a domain. Meaning it will neither whitelist nor blacklist it. In effect, it disables the URL filter for this domain (but will still look at other triggers). This was particularly done for major blog services such as blogspot, which often used to have spammers on them, yet should probably not end up on a blacklist.
- domain Blacklist (or blacklist regex) is what you want to use.

Domain black/white/grey-list only apply to domains. That is: the tld (e.g.: .uk, .co.uk, .com, .net, .org etc.) and one level down (e.g.: foobar.com, foobar.co.uk but NOT blah.foobar.com). General idea is that, except for the few greylist items cited above, most spammers go by full domains: it’s unlikely a domain used by a spammer may be otherwise legit, and blacklisting subdomains is a neverending game, since it takes 2 seconds to create a new subdomain (and doesn’t cost anything, obviously).

I agree that the case where a blogspot user may be spamming is a problem, but in effect, such spam never really last more than a day or two: blogspot will quite rapidly shut-down the account. As of late, increased anti-spam measures on these hosted blog domains means even less chance of spam from such sub-domain.

If one really wanted to blacklist a subdomain, then best is to use a regex, but these are somewhat complicated and require a very good knowledge of what you are doing. Do not attempt to use otherwise, as you may easily block every commenters.

The short answer is: SK2 is not perfect. Nor is it magical

The long answer:
SK2 uses a rather complex set of heuristics to determine spam from ham. Voluntarily it comes with a near-empty blacklist (pre-set blacklist go outdated the minute they are released, pattern-based blacklists tend to generate way too many false-positives).
However, it quickly learns from spam attempts, by filling the blacklist and using Real-Time Blacklist, among other things. It also looks at the “commenting patterns” of your visitors, so as to spot suspicious activity (e.g. an unknown person posting 10 comments all of a sudden).

This means that, on one hand, SK2 becomes better as it goes, on the other hand, there will always be a small fraction of unstopped spam (although it will tend toward zero). Make sure you flag these spams within SK2 (using the “moderate” button) and not WP’s built-in screens, so as to train SK2 on them, and you will notice a quick improvement…

Also make sure you keep up with updates and new filters for SK2: each one tend to improve spam protection by a notch (thinking of SK2 JS filter, among other things).

kelet and everybody else requesting a return to the post after filling a captcha: this is on the map. Probably will be added to SK 2.1, released sometime in late September, time permitting…

Cheers everybody

[...] Just downloaded, installed and configured a new plugin for Wordpress. It’s called SH-Autolink. It basically takes pre-configured key words (like Wordpress) and makes the key word into a link to a web site. I used to use a program called phpGiggle (written by a co-worker, actually) but it didn’t get some of the words and was harder to configure to get it to work. It was also what is called a Wordpress hack whereas SH-Autolink is a Wordpress plugin. This is a great addition to the plugins I currently use. The plugins I currently use are: Auto-Close Comments, Blogroll Update, Category Image(s), Countdown, Content Show/Hide, Gravatar, Iimage Browser, Random Quote of the Day, Easy Post-To-Post Links, Recent Comments, Recent Posts, SH-Autolink, Spam Karma 2, Spam Karma 2 Stats, and WP Contact Form.

Richard: Indeed it can’t. At least not out of the box. I’m quite a firm believer of software that does one thing only and does it well. SK2 is a spam-filter, not a moderation tool (although it would be extremely easy to customize it to do so). I believe Westi’s plugin will help you solve your issue, and if not, there will eventually be other modules made, I’m sure. Unfortunately, I’m a tad busy to do anything SK2-related at the moment.

Leo:

Any thoughts?

Yes: SK2 is not compatible with MMCACHE. Or more exactly: MMCACHE is not compatible with SK2, as what seems to bother MMCACHE is slightly elaborated, yet perfectly valid, PHP code. The plugin loading system SK2 uses would indeed easily bother a less-than-perfect caching system: unfortunately, there is little I can do about it, short of recommending your contact them and ask them about it.
When/if I ever get some spare time, I might try to put together an alternative version that uses some hardcoded plugin loading system, less likely to bother MMCACHE, but I must admit this is quite far from the top of the list…

Cheers

[...] The way I keep up with who’s visiting my blog is via Sitemeter. Sitemeter is a counter that tracks the number of visits to your blog. A bonus to Sitemeter is that its basic version allows you to look at the referrals aka where people are coming from who are visiting your site. Not all referrals show up on Sitemeter though with the full info – some people (like me) have their browsers set up to where only certain info about my browser can be seen on someone else’s Sitemeter. Sitemeter is another thing I highly recommend getting and it’s also free but they do also have a paid version if you’re interested. Also, you should check into some spam programs (like Spam Karma 2) for more heavy duty spam and troll comment blocking. I had some configuring problems with it, but that’s because I’m a novice at it.

[...] Jerry left some good questions in a previous comment about my switch. Here’s how I’d answer them today (for tomorrow’s answer might change!): How did you get WP to publish a multi-page site?

Instead of “writing a post” you “write a page” and it all was done automatically. It’s all one database. Nice way to create static pages. What template did you use (is this a Kubrick variant?) My template is Northern Web Coder. I tweaked it from there. Are you getting massive comment spam? Not yet. Don’t you start it either! I did get a plug-in called Spam Karma 2. We’ll see if it actually works. Did you attempt to import your old blog entries? (WP can do this.) No. Not yet anyway. I’m still trying to decide what to do with my old blg. I may move it in, may ftp it to a page in here, or just leave it. There are some things I want to keep. Some I don’t care about. Others I want to update. Stay tuned! Inquiring minds want to know.

Techgnome

Your problem is a bit particular. Provided the hook is correctly inserted in the code (regardless of file) SK2 will work fine. However, the detection in your case will fail, since SK2 uses the comment scripts file names to open these files and directly check if the appropriate code is present… Here is an easy (if a bit dirty) workaround:

1) Insert the hook wherever you can/want, as long as it’s called from within the HTML form on every occasions.

2) To fool SK2’s detection, simply add a commented line somewhere in the code of ‘comments.php’ (the pop-up version too, if you have one) with the whole “do_action” line. SK2 will find it (nevermind that it’s commented) and happily inform the user that the theme is compatible.

Checking a trackback Spam Karma sends a http-request to the sending side without setting the user agent. If the sending site is protected by Bad Behavior V 1.2.1 or V 1.2.2, this request is rejected cause the user agent is blank.

In the result the trackback gets a negative karma.

[...] The biggest and baddest plugin is called BadBehavior. BadBehavior has been in use here at meeciteewurkor almost since it’s inception. I’ve upgraded it three times. The author, IOError, has done a tremendous job of putting together a brainless plugin for Wordpress that examines the http headers of web requests to your site. If the request is determined to not be from a human, then it is simply blocked. IOError also has a very good blog. He’s quite the liberal, but its a good read nonetheless. The second biggest and baddest plugin here is SpamKarma. Spam Karma is a set of scripts written by Dr. Dave over at “unknown genius.” Spam Karma examines each comment that comes in and adds and subtracts “karma” based on a set of plugins written for Spam Karma. Yeah, plugins for the plugin. But they all come bundled together, so it’s just as easy to install as any other Wordpress plugin. If your comment has a certain karma rating then it is posted with no fuss. However, if SK thinks you are a spammer, then the comment gets “spanked” into moderation. Depending on how you handle the moderation, SK “remembers” what you did, and will subsequently whitelist or blacklist the commenter. For comments, you just can’t beat SK. Another type of blog spam is called referrer spam. Referrer spam is based on the idea that some blogs will display sites that link to yours. These are called referrers. Spammers will send fake referrers to your site in the hopes that you will click on these links. They also hope this will increase their Google rank, thereby getting more traffic. The plugin I use to kill referrer spam was also written by Dr. Dave, and it’s called Referrer Karma. Referrer Karma works on the same principle as Spam Karma in that it will assign a “karma” to each referrer. It also checks referrers against a list of known spammers and will automagically block unwanted referrers. RK is a bit more difficult to install than SK, but if you follow the directions, you should get it running in no time. [...]

I’m a little confused about how SK2 works regarding spam. If I have a series of moderated comments enclosed by red boxes & say, 1 of them is a valid comment & the rest are spam–how do I manually spank ONLY the spam comments?

What I did was to checkmark some (but not all) of the spam comments. I couldn’t use the box that enabled me to manually spank all comments in red because one of the was a good comment). After checkmarking some of the bad comments I clicked on Remove Selected Entries. Does this manually spank them or just delete them w/o marking them as spam? Since the spam comments are not in the Spam Harvest I’m guessing that all I did was delete them & didn’t force them through the spam harvest.

If I just deleted them, is there still a way to recover them &/or run them through spam? Or am I out of luck? I still have the comment moderation e mail send to me via WP w. e mail & IP info about the spam comments. Should I just manually enter all that into the blacklist?

Dave: Any chance you could look over my comment 337 & let me know how to handle a situation in which you have a group of moderated comments, one of which is a good comment & the others spam. Is there any way to manually spank say 4 of 5 comments as spam while preserving the single good comment?

I have not had one spam comment since last night and the Spam Karma2 control panel says it has killed 42 comments since I installed it. [...]

[...] 使用 Bad Behavior 的朋友當然建議更新，而沒有使用 Bad Behavior 的朋友，我誠意推介使用，因為以現時我使用的兩個 anti-spam plugin Spam Karma 2 及 Bad Behavior 為例，Bad Behavior 攔截了差不多 99% 的 spam，剩餘的才交給 Spam Karma 2 處理的，所以如果恐怕 Spam Karma 2 太霸道的話，不妨試試 Bad Behavior，你一定會多了時間來寫 blog，因為應付 spam 的時間肯定會大大減少。 [...]

[...] We’ll just have to see how this works… I just dropped Spam Karma 2.0 into my WordPress install. The blasted comment spammers were getting more and more aggressive.

[...] I was hit with my first barrage of Spam last evening. I have first time posters held in queue before I will allow them to post to my blog. I receive emails for all the comments that are added to my website I try to get to them all however the last few months that has not been happening. Of course you can imagine my annoyance when I saw all the comments that were in queue were Spam. Hmm, ok cool I can easily get rid of that. However I decided it would be even better to block theses annoying spammers from being able to leave a comment on my blog. I surfed onto Wordpress. i really love WordPress. I have used a lot of their hacks. It is a great blogging software package. Anyway I searched for ‘block users by IP address’ I found a super cool hack called Spam Karma 2 that I installed on my blog. Since I own vegan Momma I went another step further. I logged into my control panel and physically blocked the IP addresses from being able to access my website in the future. I strongly suspect that at least one of the spammers has a revolving IP address so they might be able to access again however I will be ready. [...]

Just a quick word in passing to all the smart boys who stop here and find it incredibly spiritual to type some random crap in the comment box and press “submit”, just to “prove the plugin doesn’t work”:

Had you made any use of the two or three remaining neurons wasted on your pitiful self by Mother Nature, you would have realized that your comments are *not* automated spam… they are dumb, yet fully human-generated, trolls… And they usually take you way more time to post than it takes me to click on that “send to the crapbox” button in SK2’s admin menu. My only regret in the whole thing being that none of you probably realize that you have been instantaneously added to SK2’s RBL lists, thus blacklisted from ever posting on, oh, 5 or 6 thousands Wordpress blogs, plus all the other services that share our RBL server… Oh well, it’s my secret guilty pleasure…

Nonetheless, and because wasting even a second on that sort of stupidity is just demeaning to me and the human race as a whole, Comments will be closed on this post from now on (TBs and PBs are still open).

Thanks.

[...] I installed, configured and have begun using Spam Karma. Some WordPress bloggers might ask, “What took you so long?” Spam Karma is a mean critter that truly enjoys killing In fact it is so mean that we had to keep it in a special military-grade containment unit on this server. Genetically engineered in the dark recess of our Secret Spam Research Labs and trained through months of reflex conditioning and shock therapy, this thing, once unleashed on your comments, will only let go of its death grip after the last spam has been shredded to pieces. We have not fed it for a week now, and it could smell spam miles away in its sleep. But while a fierce and merciless spam killer, this plugin is also a perfect companion for your kids and friends comments. Only the unmistakable foul stench of spam will trigger its ire, while questionable, yet potentially legit, comments will always be given a chance to clear themselves before being irremediably disposed of.

Deshalb habe ich in den letzten Stunden ein hübsches Plugin besorgt und installiert, mit dessen Hilfe die allermeisten Spams automatisch erkannt werden und ein weiteres Plugin, das mir das massenhafte Löschen dieses Mülls erheblich vereinfacht. Es scheint sich also beim Bloggen die gleiche Seuche gebildet zu haben, die mir schon seit Jahren die EMail vergällt.

[...] Anfang Oktober hatte ich über Probleme zwischen Bad Behavior (Version 1.2.2) und Spam Karma 2 berichtet (hier und hier).

[...] If you are using WordPress, go grab a copy of the Spam Karma plug-in. This is by far the best means of controlling blog spam I’ve found. It is extremely accurate in identifying comment spam with very few or no false positives. To increase it’s effectiveness even more, grab the Askimet plug-in for Spam Karma. Lastly, if you have upgraded to WordPress 2.0, you’ll need this compatibility plug-in as well. It may sound complicated, but it’s not. It’s a “set it and forget it” type of spam control. [...]

My guess is that it couldn’t generate the captcha image to give people, and therefore people couldn’t verify the code and all that. Am I right? [...]

[...] WordPress 2.0 comes with Akismet, a distributed spam capture system. In the past, I have been very successful in using Spam Karma 2 to scrape away the crap that people deposit in comments.

[...] Afgelopen weekend hebben de commentspammers een nieuw offensief ingezet, de oude WordPress Plugin was hier niet tegen opgewassen, dus heb ik gezocht naar een betere oplossing, en ik heb ze gevonden ook. Spam-karma maakt korte metten met comment spam op basis van een aantal strenge controles, en verwijderd spam-bestempelde comments ineens, dus geen gezever meer het aanvinken van honderden entries in de wachtrij. Je geeft aan bij welk aantal verwijderde comments je wil verwittigd worden per e-mail, en voila, klaar is Sjarel. Wat de tekeningen betreft, straks zijn ze d’r weer, al met al heb ik er dees weekend niet veel goesting of tijd voor gehad, maar ik weet het wel goed gemaakt, vanaf nu verschijnen er dagelijks meerdere tekeningen, tot het hiaat weer is opgevuld.

[...] E poi lo SPAM. Quei simpaticoni che mandano a casa mail per convincerci ad ingrandirci pene o tette, a prendere una laurea in una sconosciuta università del Winsconsin o a collaborare al riciclaggio di denaro nigeriano, fanno la stessa cosa coi blog. E non è piacevole trovare le proprie pagine piene di commenti finti sul poker, il cialis, eccetera. Per nulla. Oltre tutto, non mi piace giocare a carte (ora, se commentassero sil risiko, già potremmo parlarne). Avevo trovato alcune soluzioni, che funzionavano più o meno decentemente; meglio che all’inizio, quando, come Fulvio può confermare, ricevevamo un 100 richieste di approvazione commenti sul poker al giorno. Ma con WordPress2 le cose sono cambiate: SpamKarma2 (un sistema probabilistico di riconoscimento dello spam; quando vi viene chiesto di confermare di essere umani, è perché SK2 ha l’impressione che possiate essere androidi, e sta per scatenarvi contro Harrison Ford) e Akismet (un sistema distribuito di riconoscimento dello SPAM) funzionano che è un piacere, BadBehaviour (che cerca di discriminare tra comportamenti umani e robotici) pure, anche se poiché impedisce ai bot di scriverlo lo SPAM, invece di bloccarlo dopo, non ne sono certo (ma male non fa). Di certo, gli spammer rialzeranno la posta in gioco e troveranno un modo di fregare anche questi sistemi. E verranno sviluppati altri modi per bloccarli. Eccetera. Però, per ora, sono in vantaggio nella corsa al riarmo. E tutto funziona benissimo. [...]

[...] Spam Karma for Wordpress does a pretty darn decent job of filtering everything. In fact, it’s caught about 700 spam comments in the last two weeks, without even bringing it to my attention.

But I like your guestbook the most. Unfortunately there’s too much spam in it. [...]

[...] The big number of spam comments in my Nucleus blog was the last straw to move to Wordpress. Wordpress has an effective mechanism to filter spam: approval comments or permit to add comment only for registered users. Also, there are existing different plugins for this purpose. I used the first approach and I was enough for me till spammers became much more intense last week. So, I decided to install Spam Karma 2 plugin for by blog. It’s amazin tool!

[...] Today I took the long-avoided step of adding a captcha to the comment submission form. It seems my blog has been discovered by the spambots, and (even with Spam Karma 2 installed) the flood of meaningless spam has gotten too large to ignore.

[...] I have been using open source build software products for years. Other than a single purchase of an actually real copy of RedHat 5.2 way back when, I have never actually contributed to the community from which I get so much good software and my Linux servers. I have gone to training for different products which indirectly makes it way back to the developers, but I have never made a direct contribution to any software project. Tonight I did. To protect this blog from spammers, I use a project called Spam Karma. The software works perfectly for me and has turned away 400+ comment spams in the past two day, which I would have had to week out by hand without SK. To me, my time is valuable and I would rather not spend it weeding the site, so I donated directly to the developer. Paypal has to be a windfall for developers like this because with a click of a button it is easy to transfer funds to them. Now along with other users of the software who have tossed a few coins into the coffee cup the developer now has full on financial incentive to keep working on the software in his spare time, and me as a non-programmer, can keep my site clean.
