'posts awaiting moderation' - how to allow from 1 forum?
 

My forum has some sort of spam detection (I think its akismet), and the posts go into moderation.

I'm running a mod on my forum which allows users to fill out a form, and then their form is posted into a special forum.
These posts ALWAYS get caught by the spam detection if its a new user. However, Its pretty much impossible to get any actual spam in that forum.

So is there any way that I can disable the spam detection for that 1 forum?

You can try writing a plugin, or adding to the top of your form, that disables it. $vbulletin->options['vb_antispam_type'] = 0;

Try that on your test site and see if it works.
