Akismet anti-spam filter not working in 3.7

[James_xrated]

Hi folks,

I was under the impression that 3.7 comes with anti-spam functionality, but when I enabled the Akismet anti-spam filter in beta 5 by going into vBulletin options, providing a Wordpress API ID, and setting the threshold to a large number, 3.7 nevertheless fails to filter content.

Is there some trick to getting it to work?

I am under the impression that for 3.6, there is a plugin for this. I have not tried using that plugin under 3.7 as an alternative solution.

Thanks.
