Anti-spam mod request

Was wondering if anyone could write a mod that stops spam using: http://akismet.com/

Could have options to use it only for guests or for some membergroups.

something like this?

I'd really love that mod.

It needs to be updated, though, as the latest version says it's compatable with 1.0.2.

Look through the mod's thread. On the last couple pages there is a download link for 1.1 RC2.

Someone else mentioned this Akismet to me and was happy to see it mentioned in a search.
I see punBB made a mod for it so a good SMF coder should be able to make one. Apparently it works allot like spamassasin but you don't have the bother of updating the filters yourself. KEWL!

Check out the development page. I think this could be a great mod for many. I know I have blocked a heck of allot of spam-bots and spammer. And this would help in that area big time.

Ill take a look into how it connects with WP, and see what I can do for SMF. Ill keep ya'll posted

Great!

Hope you can come up with something on this.

gamesmad · September 19, 2006, 01:49:02 PM

Akismet seems to have very little documentation available on exactly how it works, and there are no forums. I'm trying to figure it out though

Look at the wordpress mod. Hopefully their mods are commented

gamesmad · September 19, 2006, 04:33:58 PM

They aren't commented

If only someone from the SMF team had coded it!

I'll get around to it in a little bit.

Dannii · October 02, 2006, 07:11:35 AM

This looks like a great mod to have.

Daniel15 · November 06, 2006, 01:02:11 AM

Since nobody's started coding this, I'll see if I can do it
