trigger a "spam" flag for testing?

[Stephen Rider]

Hi all --

Does anyone have a good simple way to make a plugin flag as negative karma for purposes of testing? I want to set up my test install so that I can at will submit a comment that's marked "not spam", or "spam" -- my choice.

Ideas?

Stephen

Hi Stephen,

If I understand correctly, you want a way to control the way a comment
is going to be flagged in your install...

Easiest way, I think, is to add a custom SK2 module with the highest
priority, which sets the karma to a very low number, based on some
simple condition (e.g. grep the comment's content for a special
codeword). Just reuse one of the simpler existing module and you
should be able to get that going in a couple minutes...

Hope I am making sense, don't hesitate to ask if you need more help with this...

Cheers!

An alternative way would be to run last and set the $skip_under and $skip_above so that it always gets triggered.

Thats how my plugin which enforces the WP built-in moderation rules works.
