Spam Karma
As any blogger knows, where there are blogs there are spammers, it is almost an inevitable occurrence, bots or just idiots they are just plane aggravating. Here at ThirdSquare as the blog had grown so had the amount of spam, it got to a level that even moderating comments one by one got tiresome and more and more irritating, so I began looking for a solution that would be able to monitor and manage comments automatically, a sort of A.I. blog moderation - I actually doubted I could find anything that would remotely fit my needs, but I was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled upon Spam Karma.
This amazingly ingenious WordPress plug-in separates spam from other comments and ping backs using a “Karma” point system, where Karma is determined by different aspects of the comment, such as the presence of a URL, IP commenting history, and much more.
Here at ThirdSquare we’ve had this plug-in for almost three weeks now and remarkably it has yet to miss, after over a hundred comments processed it is still spotless, perfectly sifting spam out.
The Spam Karma installation is very simple and it can be found and downloaded here. After you install you can access its control panel in the “Manage” tab, and I think you will be absolutely amazed by the sophistication of this seemingly automated plug-in – a must-have for any WP blog.
