Liew, thanks a lot. I installed the plugin and it caught one stupid comment. It works!

Hey guys! I found a SK2 plugin – sk2 moderate plugin!

Enforces the following WordPress administration settings relating to treatment of comments:
1. “An administrator must approve the comment (regardless of any matches below)” (under Options … Discussion)
2. “Comment author must have a previously approved comment” ( also under Options … Discussion)

I found an advance setting in SK2 under “Anubis”. I am testing it.

lilian, this is what I’m quite afraid of. there’re some “bad” strangers, not spammers who’ll say nasty things, and I wanna moderate them before they goes out.

now with SK, it approves all these itself!

stchatterbox – I know what you mean. I got flamed a few times as a result of that. Usually, those flamers can’t get their comments published until I approve but now their comment got through my claws.

Liew, if you can figure out how to make blog owner approves first time commentors, that will be great.

I was using Bad behavior plugin and wordpress build-in anti spam only. Installed SK2, no more spam comment but it auto approve non-spam comments (even from strangers).

I’ve Bad Behaviour+Spam Karma, only BB is not enough, some spams are powerful to get through it. I chatted in Wordpress’ IRC and the guys told me that SK is the Ferrari in catching SPAM.

But one problem though: Before, every comment (non-spam ones from my friends or net-pals) are held for my moderation for approval, but now, with SK, it approves my frds’ comments itself, which I don’t like. I wish there will be a function for admin to choose whether they want NON-spams comments are held for moderation or not.

To Liew, the documentation you email me was the older version of SK; by the way, know any ways how to add the function to SK I suggest???

I have SK2 also but not sure why just now (about 1-2 hrs ago) some spammed got through. I have increased the strength from the options. Going to put up Bad behaviour too. I hate spams.

SK2 is excellent! Very rarely it blocks non-spam trackbacks, but you always get e-mails informing you of comments and trackbacks that are held in moderation. Bad Behaviour is good too – do check it out.
