Karma
What can I say, since moving the blog from b2evolution to Wordpress (with the brilliant SpamKarma plugin) I’ve not seen any reduction in Spambot activity, just a complete wipeout of spam comments and trackbacks actually getting through…
- Total Spam Caught: 2544 (average karma: -1643.84)
- Total Comments Approved: 87 (average karma: 50.48)
- Total Comments Moderated: 2
Says it all really - it had to check 2 comments with me before I rejected them, but on it’s own has wiped out 2544 spams since I updated the engine, and that’s only counting the spambots which are getting past BadBehaviour - which itself is stopping over 200 access attempts a week (see the page footer for the latest stats)
