[AKISMET] Akismet Auntie Spam Helper for Akismet v2

Version 2 is out, but you probably already know that. Read more about it.

Akismet Auntie Spam is a maintenance script for WordPress administrators. One of the problems with the Akismet spam protection service is that sometimes it misidentifies a real comment as spam. WordPress has a spam recovery console that I like to call the spam inbox.

Have you ever stuck your hand as far back at you can into the crannies of your couch and pulled out what you found? That’s kind of what going into the default Akismet spam inbox is like. It’s a dark and evil place, filled with things that will make your eyes burn. You only wanted to find the quarter you lost, but before you know it your hand is stuck and something is touching you back.

Akismet Auntie Spam is a kind old lady who will come to your house and give it a thorough cleaning. She’s not afraid of the dark corners, particularly the spam inbox because she knows exactly how to handle the creepy crawlies hiding out of sight.

[WORDPRESS] Akismet Auntie Spam v2

This is a complete re-write of my Firefox add-on that makes the Akismet Admin Panel about 1 million times more useful. Expect a full post on Internet Duct Tape with all the features some time next week.

• Rewrote from scratch using IP filtering idea from Donncha.
• Will now fetch all of your spam comments and display them on one page.
• Groups by the originating IP address.
• Because it groups by IP address, the more spam you have, the more likely it is to correctly identify spam!
• Sorted by the least number of spam comments to the most number of spam comments.
• IP addresses with more than 5 comments are hidden (as the are likely spammers).
• Can easily check the hidden text by moving your mouse over the parts that say [hidden]
• Surprisingly much faster than the old version! (less code, too)
• No longer has any confusing configuration options -- does the right thing all the time.
• Automatically checks for script updates every two weeks.

[WORDPRESS] Akismet Auntie Spam update

Ever have one of those weeks? Akismet has decided that all comments from me are spam and there's nothing I can do about it, other than politely emailing the blogs I regularly post to and asking them to go dumpster diving for me.

I've updated my Akismet Auntie Spam script for Firefox so that
-- Hovering over the "super compressed" spam gives you a preview with an option to mark it as not spam.
-- You can edit the script and enter keywords that you want to see pointed out as NOT SPAM. This is great for putting in your own blog name, or for putting in friends who always get marked as spam.
