Ubiq Spam
Posted on February 14th, 2005 by uruloki
Ubiq at Zen of Design went with SpamKarma, but is having some issues. I would argue that there is no such thing “legitimate spam” but I’ve been known to be crazy. Perhaps he’s referring to the fact that I can’t post there either thanks to (apparent) bad karma…
I have SpamKarma installed and haven’t had it eat any good comments yet. However, it also let about a dozen trackback spams through over the course of a week. I’m assuming that you’re using WP1.5 since you’re seeing SpamKarma under the Options pane, with 1.2.2 and it set to normal ferocity, it has caught at least 4 to 1 for every trackback it let through. YMMV.
Maybe with his larger sample size (read: actual readers), he’s seeing a lot of actual comments being deleted.
