Nothing gets by the SK2/Askimet combo. I agree - SK2 is awesome! Nothing gets by the SK2/Askimet combo.

In the past six months using both Akismet and SK2 on my site, only one spam comment ever got through to be displayed on the front page, out of 760 caught. Also, make sure you're running the latest Akismet, and go to the options page to check "automatically delete spam on posts older than a month" Saves me a bunch of time deleting my Akismet spam. Bad Behavior can randomly block people from commentating. It's happened to me many times, and the site owner has to add the IP to a whitelist. I definitely would recommend trying SK2 first before you decide to go with Bad Behavior. Try Spam Karma 2.

It did that for a while [as well as blocking some valid comments] :/ Perhaps combining it with another spam blocker? Akismet isn’t blocking spam?

I have it enabled along with Akismet. I don't have a problem with spam (knocks on wood) My site used to get hit hard by spammers. Bad Behavior blocks them from even viewing your site. It's nice.

It's either in the plugin code itself or the code snippet to past into your comments. I say that if the problem isn't fixed, you could always just reinstall a new version of WP and reinstall the akismet plugin too. Perhaps that could help.

Moderating all of the time gets tiring - especially if most of it is obvious spam. I have never experienced problems with Akismet though. I hope you will find a solution!

If anything, I might just get rid of all extra tables and keep the main ones (categories, pages, posts, comments) and enter them into a new database to see if that might solve some of the problems. I don't mind the comment moderation that much.

Do you know which plugin did it? Hope you can fix it. It would suck if you had to keep your comments on mod indefinately. That’s kinda odd. Do you know which plugin did it? Hope you can fix it.

You can just uncheck it if you don't want to be notified. Sarah, that’s hard-coded into the plugin that’s used for subscriptions. You can just uncheck it if you don’t want to be notified.

On a side note, I think it's annoying that the "Notify me of followup comments" toggle is checked by default.
