Akismet works for three reasons: spam reporting is communal, so when one site reports spam, all other sites benefit. Another reason that it works is that its sauce is secret. Spammers don’t know why a particular comment was blocked, so they can’t easily learn how to work around that block. The last reason is that Akismet is a remote service, and thus is being constantly updated for all users. by gsub_spamCarma_1186990996[…] […] So these methods require constant updates (tricker CAPTCHA, better Spam Karma 2 rules) to work.
