UPDATE: Forgot the screenshot of the new version of the management page! Be sure to check the end of the post!
As promised, here’s a new updated version of the Akismet plugin I’m working to update.
Current Version: 1.06b2
Changes
- Display of the comments was changed again to a more friendly (I think) look and feel.
- URL was abbreviated (30 characters), since lots of my SPAM has horribly long fake URLs.
- Comment type was added to the display (comment / trackback / pingback / etc.).
- Post ID (w/ link) comment was made on added.
- User email changed to link for easy access.
- Comments now listed seperately, not grouped by author (Very much still in testing! Please let me know how this seems to work out!)
Still To Come
- Email notifications when something’s “quarantined”!
As always, let me know if you have any requests, if you run into any problems, etc.

Sweet. Much furrendlier.
It really annoyed you that much to change it huh?
I know, it’s amazing, isn’t it? Usually I just sit back and whine about it at every opportunity…
Dude, now that’s what I call something awesome!
Plugging it into my WP device
OK, for my own purposes, as well as anyone who may be paying attention, here are some things I want to add to the Akismet plugin still, in no particular order:
Email notifications of “Blocked” SPAM
Display SPAM received date / purge date fields
I’m paying attention all the way!
Will wait for this update
Add these to that wish list:
- Whitelist feature so a comment never gets sent to Akismet if it’s from a certain email / IP (subnet?)
- Blacklist of the same (since Wordpress only allows keyword and IP filters, we can most certainly improve upon that!)
I haven’t had a chance to get back to this yet, but don’t lose faith! I promise I’m going to finish these updates!
