Akismet Anti-Spam · **Released**: 06-12-2006

This extension will automatically check new posts against the Akismet spam rulesets and identify spam if it is posted on your site. All spam is set to moderated status until an admin/moderator approves/deletes it.

This setting can be set on a usergroup basis so only certain usergroups are scanned.

I have no affiliation with Akismet, I just know that it catches about 99% of all spam I get on my blogs.

You will need an API key to use this product, but they are free and you can get one immediately at wordpress.com when you sign up.

Installs easily, just upload the included files, and install the product file. NO TEMPLATE EDITS!

You should probably use a promotion strategy outlined here:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....3&postcount=18

This will reduce your Akismet usage and not filter your regular users who you are pretty confident will not post SPAM.

A good mod that works with this hack is the "Moderation Queue on FORUMHOME" hack here:

The only other thing you need to do is:

Yeah, all the users in the promoted group are in there as its primary group. When double checking the promotion it also shows that Promotion Type was in fact Primary. Any other ideas?

Make sure when you create a promotion, you create it for the Registered Users usergroup.

A simple 1,2,3 step installation would be killer. I can't seem to get it happenin or figure out where the api key should go. Anyone? tia

I didn't see a version of this in the 3.6 section. Is there one available, will it be ported, or does it already work with 3.6?

I'm testing this out on a few of my boards now. It seems that the boards I implemented it on are having one problem now though.

I use vbadvanced for the home page. For some reason you can not login via the front page anymore. Or rather, you appear to be logging in but it comes back to the vbadvanced page and you are still not logged in. You can login from the forums fine.

Is this just coincidence or could this product have caused this issue for me?

This product has nothing to do with logging in.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
