I don't quite understand... I think I will monitor the performance of SK2 for this coming few weeks. If it's not working well, then I will try Bad Behavior. I haven't tried that before.

I think I will monitor the performance of SK2 for this coming few weeks. If it’s not working well, then I will try Bad Behavior. I haven’t tried that before.

Anyway thanks for your suggestions, Edrei…

The thing is with Wordpress, you can use more than one Spam Protection. Captcha is annoying and cuts down on the amount of people that comment. What people need is a <a href="http://www.bad-behavior.ioerror.us/" rel="nofollow">Bad Behavior</a> and Akismet conbination. Bad Behavior blocks out automated spambots from accessing your blog and effectively blocks out about 90% of all incoming spam. Akismet is now free to deal with the rest. It works quite well on my part and I get about 10-15k spam comments a week. SK2 is even worse because the more spam you catch, the more likely you’re going to get false positive.
