I installed the latest version of Akismet once upont a time. It ate several comments (two of them actually valid) that were posted to my blog. People e-mailed me saying, “Where is my comment?” BAD Akismet.

Spam Karma 2, however, does the job nicely, and doesn’t eat things It merely stops them from being seen until I approve them or delete them — like a good spam catcher should. Thank you, SK2, thank you! Spam Karma even sents me “caught spam” reports every once in awhile. I feel like my blog is my own again…
