Was just wondering if any of you guys have ever heard of/are using Spam Karma: http://unknowngenius.com/blog/wordpress/spam-karma/
I used to use SK2, but then I switched to Akismet, then I switched to using both -- but on separate blogs. I like SK2 and I'm friends with the author of it. He's starting up development of it again and it should be even better. It's a good plugin I think, better than Akismet -- for me at least. I don't like comments being recorded and numbered unless they're legit.
I am using Akismet. It's been doing a swell job so far. Can't compare with SK2 because I've not used SK2 before...
Hmm,I am using Spam Karma 2. Because Akismet sometimes crashes my server! IMO Its not bad than Akismet !
Akismet was designed by the author of Wordpress, photomatt, so it would never crash your server -- unless you misconfigured your server.
Akismet is excellent...so far on my site: 321 spam comments blocked. 2 marked as spam that weren't. 0 spam let through as actually good comments. very easy to install since it is included in WP 2 and greater....you only need to go to Wordpress.com and get an API key.
