Spam Karma – Deleted Comments

  • I recently installed Spam Karma and it put a hold on the massive spam attack I was having, but it’s also been deleted comments from my regular readers. Now 3 of them have automatically blacklisted. How do I remove their info from the blacklist and also, how can I retrieve the comments in the digest so that they show up on the site? Right now 4 comment sare being “digested” but I never received an approval notice for them and they dont show up in the comment moderation section. I feel really bad about this, some of my readers are pissed off. ??

    Thanks for any help!

  • In the Admin panel go to Options->Spam Karma and you should see the latest IP’s and URL’s that were added. If you recognize URL’s and IP’s that are safe, uncheck them and update the list.

    That should help a little, also if your visitors are being proxies it tends to cause problems. Disabling the option: “The comment must be made from the same IP address as what requested the comment form.” should help with that, but then it opens you up for other attacks..

    Is there any way to remove the profanity setting on Spam Karma? In my world “Texas Holdem” is far more profane than “F*ck”, especially since one of my good online friends has the word f*ck in his url.

    Can I retrieve comments that have been deleted/are in the digest?

    Not sure about the profanity words.

    As far as the comments go, go to Manage->Comments and click on “Only spam” and see if the comments you want show up there, if they do approve them. If they were silently deleted by Spam Karma, then you might not be able to get them back.

    As of Spam Karma v1.20, discarded comments are now left in the WordPress database and marked as [spam] . To recover any discarded comments, use Chris J. Davis’ Spam Nuker: https://www.chrisjdavis.org/hacks/1.5/cjd_delete.zip

    Thanks for the info! I’ll try out Spam Nuker and see what happens.
