Thanks James – actually SK2 wasn’t ‘discontinued’ – it was rather handed off from ‘Dr. Dave’ to a team of developers and since then it has been in active and ongoing development:
https://code.google.com/p/spam-karma/

As well, there are many wp bloggers who are continuing to use it.

How can it be re-introduced into the plugins repository?

Does anyone know how to create both full and partial RSS feeds? In WP it is a binary choice but what if you want to offer both?

Is there a way to finagle your way around it? say with yahoo pipes? or feedity? or some other way? I’ve looked at the options but since I’m not really technically oriented I haven’t found a way.

Unfortunately googling for it is useless since the results are overpowered by the inane debate between the two options.

If anyone knows how to offer both options, please, please share. Thank you.

Chris,
no, I haven’t done a poll but I’ve read many complaints about it. And it would be difficult to compare SK2 with today’s offerings since to do an apples to apples comparison we would have to jump into a time machine and go back to a time when SK2 was *the* anti-spam plugin used by wordpress bloggers. Since it was not updated and left to fend on its own by Dr. Dave, others have come on the scene and tried to do the once stellar job it did…. with mixed results (to be generous).
I agree that getting actual feedback from users would be great. I think we can all agree that akismet doesn’t cut it. Are you familiar with SK2? and how it nuked spam through various different methods? how it allowed for filtering, moderation, un-erase, etc.? Do any of the current anti-spam plugins come even close to its capabilities and quality?

Strider, does SK2 work with the current version of WP (2.9.x)? I went over to the Google Code repository but couldn’t find that info. Thanks.

Glad to hear that you’re happy but the majority of WP bloggers are struggling with the anti-spam plugins out there. For example, take this recent post in this forum: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/266352?replies=3

Again and again, SK2 is hands down the favorite solution. So why don’t developers who spend their time coding these alternative solutions just bring up the existing SK2 code (GNU license) to work with the current version of WP?

I’m puzzled why an amazing solution has been left by the wayside and forgotten.

WTF is anyresults.net still up? and the same host? how can any host be so negligible?

Just spoke with technical support at the host for anyresult.net – https://www.isprime.com

I gave them the URL for this thread and asked them to take appropriate measures. The person I spoke with requested a “ticket” but since I’m not a client there is no point in submitting one.

In any case, the ball is in their court now if they want to actually do something about this.

For others who may want to call them: 1-800-502-4678 x3 for tech support

wordpress>presentation>theme editor>sidebar.php

ok, I think I found the right place: options>discussion

but when I tell it to set all comments to be moderated, it doesn’t do it!

it just ignores me and lets comments through automatically

wtf?

WP 2.3.3

uh, anyone?

Update: I tried the suggestion here:
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/67871?replies=4

And put the default folder (w/php files) into the themes (that is I overwrote the two php files)

nothing.
