I logged into my blog to install Spam Karma tonight, only to find that its author stopped development at Wordpress 2.1. I went with my back-up plan of Bad Behavior and Akismet. Before installation, I had 8,012 pending comments (nearly 100% spam) and 2,411 comments already marked as spam. Akismet has a nice “check for spam” feature that is currently churning through all of my pending comments. This is taking forever. I will be glad when things are done, however. It will help me keep track of spam for good.
UPDATE: Squeaky clean! Zero pending comments. Unfortunately, all 8,012 previously pending comments were spam.
