Spam Karma: read those stats and cheer
Here’s what Spam Karma is telling me about how much it’s caught since I installed it on Sept 26 (that’s just over a month ago):
- Total Spam Caught: 2019 (average karma: -254.08)
- Total Comments Approved: 151 (average karma: 8.74)
- Total Comments Moderated: 17
And in that period there have been 150 real comments, and 1 (count it!) comment that slipped through - a “free iPod” site advert that was manually posted.
Hmm, 2020 spams and 150 real comments. Spam outweighs real people just as in email.
- These posts might be related (the database thinks..):
- Spam: the beast is in the numbers (6 March 2006; score: 97%)
- Spam catcher updated, which I hope will solve problems with nice people being unable to pass comment (26 September 2005; score: 86.56%)
- Seeing too much of this already: spam with the captcha filled. By humans. (17 November 2006; score: 65.57%)

Yeah, always reminds me of The Matrix. You’ve got a bunch of brave humans, with skills and resourcefulness and passion and haircuts, but then you’ve got the machines: simple, relentless, basic, overwhelming.
MY GOD WE’VE CREATED A MONSTER.
