Thanks for the heads up – I thought Akismet was the be all and end all of WP spam control :)
If you had to pick one, would you choose the new Auntie Spam or Spam Karma for your spam removal.
Hi Drew,
Auntie Spam isn’t a spam removal tool. It’s a helper for Akismet that makes spam maintenance a little bit easier.
Thanks for the pointer, Andy. I have installed it and I love it – makes spam management so much easier. I love all the things you can do with Greasemonkey.
I thought Akismet was great until my blog started to grow. Now I’m digging my own trackbacks out of the spam filter and good comments on a daily basis. I’m thinking about going with spam karma. I’m about to try out Auntie Spam first though.
I’m seriously going to have to try this out…Thanks Andy for the amount of topics regarding Askimet problems. They are VERY helpful in determining what my next steps should be to rectify the problem.
