I found it to be lower maintenance and simply better at catching comment spam than Akismet is. Adam, I am indeed back on Spam Karma 2.

But to clarify things a bit here, I had to drop Akismet for awhile when Akismet had problems with their servers and my "spamments" caught by the plugin were being deleted immediately rather than being held in the Akismet queue for me to check over. A few other bloggers I had found we're experiencing the same problem. On the basis of "sometimes a few real comments get caught as well" I dropped Akismet for SK2 until the problem was repaired (it was and good job too) and I've been using both plugins together since then. They do make a sweet pair. Gotta stay on the ball here. I'm slipping.

As you may probably remember, I started using SK2 because of <a href="http://www.longren.org/2005/10/05/how-did-i-survive-before/" rel="nofollow">your recommendation</a>. I kept using SK2 because frankly, it "just works". Yeah, even on my 2.1 installation.

When Akismet was first bundled with wordpress, I was willing to try it out, but eventually I didn't as it seemed registration was required.
