I cringe every time a spam comment gets through, just thinking about the emails that must be going out in response. Both Akismet and SK2 were letting through loads of spam (both real spam and the silly innocuous-looking posts that are really just testing the perimeter and trying to get stuff whitelisted). It _looks_ like Mollom has finally warmed up, and is nearly batting 1000. Hopefully that's the end of the spam for awhile (touchwood, jynx, cringe). For the wpmu service, I'm thinking of running Google Analytics for aggregate stats, but am definitely open to suggestions (especially wrt per-user and per-blog stats). Ideally there should be a stats panel, similar to what WordPress.com offers, without having to send everyone to another service to sign up...

While Mollum may be stopping a lot of obvious spams on your blog- it\'s letting through a lot of \"Wow, I like your site, man\" type posts that seem harmless- but don\'t add anything to the discussion.

So far, it's mostly just dropping pieces into place and twiddling bits - nothing too fancy or hardcore... I’ll try to write up some details, similar to what Jim’s doing on his blog for umwblogs.org.
