All Narfed Up photography and words by Bryan Villarin

Like I said earlier, I just upgraded to WordPress 2.1 a couple days ago. Since then, I haven’t seen any Akismet spam to delete or moderate. I’m not complaining, but just a little irked. Are comments getting through? I posted a test one, then promptly deleted it - that was fine. James sent me a trackback last night, so that’s fine. What’s going on?

I’m currently using the following antispam plugins:

• Akismet 2.0
• Bad Behavior 2.0.9 (I’m upgrading to 2.0.10 after posting this)
• Spam Karma 2.2 (with the SK2 Akismet Plugin)
• Referrer Karma (not exactly a plugin)

Update February 2, 2007: After reading Tom’s post about the awesomeness that is Akismet 2.0, perhaps it’s the new “Automatically discard spam comments on posts older than a month” feature. Even with SK2 disabled, I still haven’t had to delete comment spam from Akismet. So basically, before 2.0, all the comment spam I was deleting was from posts older than a month. Crazy. Case closed, I guess!
