Thanks for quick reply westi. =) Yeah...I'm using Spam Karma 2 (2.3 rc4) 
and Bad Behavior (2.0.10). I have the SK2 plugin, that basically allows 
Akismet to work with it as well. Hence for not having have the normal 
Akismet plugin enabled... Is there something I need to do with SK2 to 
allow WP default moderation to work or am I pretty much screwed either 
way? Thanks again for quick reply.. =D
