So much so that I almost followed Scot&#8217;s lead in <a href="http://www.jangro.com/a/2008/03/12/hammered-by-spammers-time-for-dofollow-to-go/">switching to &#8220;nofollow&#8221;</a> again. </p>
<p>My frustration though was misplaced. There is no question that blogs from <a href="http://andybeard.eu/2007/05/nofollow-dofollow.html">No-Nofollow Community</a> are on many &#8220;must spam&#8221; list. But I think there is still a way to dofollow the comments while keeping the monkeys away.</p>
<p>Since moving to this domain, i have not bothered to install Spam Karma plugin until now. I just decided to go along with Akismet that comes by default with a new WordPress installation. I should have learned from the past and how this <a href="http://sageblogger.com/akismet-is-catching-wrong-people/">collective intelligence plugin had failed me in the past</a>.</p>
<p>So today I have decided to say goodbye to Akismet once again, hopefully forever. Spam Karma is so much better solution for keeping the wrong people out and the right ones in. If you have installed Spam Karma on your blog but are not sure what is the best configuration for the plugin, take a look at <a href="http://andybeard.eu/2007/05/akismet-spam-karma.html">Andy&#8217;s settings for SK2</a>.</p>
