In reply to: [Conditional CAPTCHA] seems not workingProblem SOLVED.
It was, of course, user error. The Hashcash plugin was reactivated by the owner, and it seems to take precedence – meaning if it finds a hashcash error, it puts a comment into moderation, regardless of what Akismet or Conditional CAPTCHA say. So, folks, turn off that Hashcash plugin and Conditional CAPTCHA works brilliantly! 🙂
Thanks for your help, Samir, I truly appreciate it.

In reply to: [Conditional CAPTCHA] seems not workingSorry, nevermind, the 86 (now 87) were all the ones since yesterday that I manually cleaned out with the “check for spam” button. Just received a new one, again in the moderation queue, and the counter increased by 1 🙁

In reply to: [Conditional CAPTCHA] seems not workingHm, problem is still there, just got a nice valium SPAM in the pending queue:
Curiously, on the dashboard, it says:
86 spam comments have been automatically discarded by Conditional CAPTCHA.So, it seems we are actually doing pretty well! Maybe the ones that get through are indeed posted by actual human beings?!

In reply to: [Conditional CAPTCHA] seems not workingI will wait an hour to see if anything else gets through. Is there a way to turn on some logging for Conditional CAPTCHA?

In reply to: [Conditional CAPTCHA] seems not workingHi Samir,
thanks for the quick reply. it did indeed go to the trash. I am wondering now how the actual spambots even get by reCAPTCHA. did they get that good?

In reply to: [Conditional CAPTCHA] seems not workingHi,
I am supporting a blog right now and ran into the same issue. Akismet was running for a while, and the owner opened up old articles for comments, which increased the monthly SPAM load from about 500 to 11000 and counting. I found your plugin and thought it is just what we need. I tested it manually, and it works, but as the OP said, the posts marked as spam show up in the moderation queue with a note “flagged as spam by Akismet”, even though I have configured it to trash the spam if the CAPTCHA is not solved correctly. The site is positiveparentingconnection.net. Any ideas? I can provide screen shots if that helps.No other comment-related plugins are installed.UPDATE: Thanks for your test, just saw your test comment in the rash, where it was supposed to go. I think I found the error – in Settings/Discussion, there was a sitting to put any comment with 2 or more links into the moderation queue. Might this override the trash setting in your plugin? I turned it off now, waiting for the next SPAM bot to come by. Curiously, I wonder how the spam bots seem to get by reCAPTCHA.
