WordPress Station

Quix0r
I had been meaning to mention this plugin for some time, and actually thought I had, until Quix0r stopped by, and mentioned it. I then realized I never actually got around to blogging it.
I personally have been blessed by the combination of Spam Karma2 and Bad Behavior (maybe it’s due to the fact that I have donated to the authors, hint, hint) but anyway, many people still run into issues with spam, and this one seems like a good addition to the arsenal. I’ll leave the technical explanation to the author, but my basic understanding is it “hides” the name of the file that most spammers attack, so basically they are missing the target. Sounds good, and appears to be successful for those that need it. Worth checking out if you are still having issues with spam.

Lunacy Unleashed

Since noting that the stats plugin has been updated, it’s worth noting that Bad Behavior 2.0 was released as a final release while I was off line. Coupled with Spam Karma, this plugin has helped me avoid any of the troubles I’ve read others having with spam over the last few months.
Perhaps my karma was especially helped because I made a contribution to the development of both spam fighting plugins, and I suggest you do the same.

Bad Behavior is now at 2.0.3.

Update:Updated to 2.1

For those that want to either view the number of blocks by Bad Behavior in the admin panel, or show the stat on their site, this plugin is the one you want. Now updated to work with the newest version of BB, as well as older versions of Bad Behavior.

It was announced yesterday that you can now register for an API key at wordpress.com without creating a blog. With the recent wave of spam I’ve read about, this might move a few to go ahead and use Akismet along with SK2 and Bad Behavior.
