    alright, i just uploaded it, activated went to manage and there's bloody 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 options

    Then I made a random comment as seen here http://www.waragainstemos.com/2007/07/06/emo-girls-are-ugly/#comment-174

    and it got "through"

    what do i need to edit.

    I just want it simple, where spam links and crap get deleted..

    also what's with all this karma level crap?

    Use Akismet. You just need a wordpress.com API key to activate it

    That's because you are posting them and it's your site.

    Put all the settings on moderate and the link counter setting on strong or supastrong.
    I also disable snowball effect and post age and activity. Works great.
    There is also a weird bug when SK2 "spanks" a comment manually, so you better browse through blocked comments from time to time.
