i’ll give BB a try. it’s disconcerting that while when akismet/SK2 throw false positives, i can still rescue the comment, but if BB throws a false positive, i’ll never know. it’d be nice if at a minimum, BB could start by importing all previous commenters’ IP’s to a whitelist.

I’ve had a lot of luck using Bad Behavior with Akismet. You might give that a try. Bad Behavior cuts down most of the garbage before it even gets to Akismet.

yep, those, and the ones with the string of unintelligible characters or lorem ipsum. i can’t figure why it isn’t learning.

I’ve been facing the same problem … I am getting a lot of single word spam comment with words like nice, interesting, cool. I think I’ve marked more than 50 such comments as spam but yet akismet seems to let them in. I thought it was intelligent enough to fig this out after some time.
