I suspect that the spam bots are trying to beat akismet and that is what our problem is. That's a pretty much unfounded theory though, just a hunch really. :) I don’t like akismet for a lot of reasons, and was really happy to find SK had upgraded as I didn’t get on with version 1 at all.

Jax - on the "approved comments" and "recent spam harvest" tabs, there's an option to run selected spam through all or some of the SK filters. I noticed that a lot of my comment-spam was on a small number of older posts, so I added the Auto-Close Comments plugin, which allows me to close comments after a selected length of time. With no comments permitted on older posts, the number of comment spams fell dramatically.

You know, I really thought that was stupid of the software. If it knew for sure it was spam, why keep it around? At least this plugin will purge it.

So far I've had to moderate 24 comments, all of which were spam, and it's let through none accidentally. As far as I can see it hasn't caught any non spam, though to be honest, it's quite difficult to check that in these numbers. “Total Spam Caught: 4080 (average karma: -218.89)”

Thousands?? I can say we have SK2 set at homeschooljournal and my blog and it seems to be doing a fine job. I can just ignore it even. It'll clean itself out too, which I really like.
