Chris Pirillo, though, not quite as excited. Chris reports massive false positives. What could be up with that? I haven’t had one false positive in hundreds of spomments caught. There aren’t any configuration parameters, so it would be hard for it to be something Chris did in setting it up. I don’t know how Akismet works, but perhaps there is some text being analyzed from Chris’ site that is always considered spammish? Or maybe it was a momentary failure of the Akismet service? Any other ideas? [...] [...] It sounds like Alec Saunders is experiencing the same Akismet ecstasy that I am. Chris Pirillo, though, not quite as excited. Chris reports massive false positives.

I've used Spam Karma 2.0 for a long time now. Hope Askimet solves that problem. Comment spam is such a pain to deal with. If they find another way around, Spam Karma seems to let about 1 in 500 through, but does a real good job. I've never used Askimet myself. I've used Spam Karma 2.0 for a long time now.
