Flickster from the Jeffro show here :) Glad to hear you’ve managed to fix your problem. Interesting that it can actually be stopped before Akismet, because I rely really heavily on Akismet. Test for bold text More edits.

Without wanting to seem to optimistic I think I have resolved the problem that I was having with the plugin.

Nice, I have heard good things about that plugin. What I am developing is basically a javascript free version of that. The methods are not identical, but the concepts are similar.

I have been using it successfully up until 2.5, and hit a wall. It seems to work sometimes, but not other times.

Christoph, Akismet does stop the vast majority of the spam. My spam figures were almost all caught by Akismet. This plugin, assuming I can ever get it to work, prevents it from entering the system in the first place so it never gets as far as Akismet.

Hi Andrew,
I’m wondering – do you get spam that still goes through Askimet? Since week 41 of 2007 I had a total of 20.656 views, 109 posts and 39 comments (that’s what happens if you dont blog in english :D) – and Askimet caught amazing 3.611 spam-comments. Only occasionally a single spam goes through and pops up in moderation – but as of today, Askimet worked like a charm.

This is my first test post.
