E-Blah Community / Question and Answer / Question about akisment api feature

Posted by: iCONICA, May 21, 2008, 8:20am

Hi, I've recently added an akismet api key to my forum, it has caught 16 spam messages so far. What exactly does the spammer see when they try to post? is it a notification or does the forum just delete their post just after they make it?

Thanks.

Try posting a spam and you'll see. :) It's just an error page that says the post was spam.

Oh... I thought spammers details are reported to akismet?
so only known spammers would be caught?

If not then it just recognises spammer behaviour?

:o

Thanks.

The E-Blah version does not. It will only ask Akismet if they are spam and they will return a yes/no answer.

They are marked as spam all the time on WordPress. Akismet is excellent at spam stoppage.
