reCAPTCHA for Spam Karma

March 29, 2008 at 9:29 pm

I’ve just finished my first Spam Karma plugin. It integrates CAPTCHAs from reCAPTCHA into the system, authors who submit comments within a certain error margin are given the opportunity to solve a CAPTCHA from reCAPTCHA, in much the same way as the built-in CAPTCHA module. (Indeed, some of my code is based on that module.)

Download reCAPTCHA for Spam Karma 2 (Version 1)
If you have any problems post them here in the comments.

Installation and Configuration

Obviously you need Spam Karma installed. If you don’t want Spam Karma, reCAPTCHA provides a standalone WordPress plugin here.

Upload the plugin in text mode (most (s)FTP programs will do this automatically) to your /wp-content/plugins/sk2/sk2_plugins folder. Visit the administration page for Spam Karma in the Options section. Near the bottom you will find the reCAPTCHA configuration. You will need to enter the public and private key for your domain before the plugin will work.

Comment Policy: Be nice. If you disagree, feel free to do so, but in a fact-supported manner. (E.g. "You are wrong. For example, the Wikipedia page for this subject says..." is okay, "You are a noob because you disagree with me!" is not.) Swearing is okay, provided it's not just there for the point of swearing and it's not excessive. Trolls aren't okay. This is not YouTube. By commenting you give me a perpetual, non-revokable license to publish your comments on my site. I can modify and delete them at will from this point.
