Akismet Anti-Spam v0.2

This is for Beta 9.8.2. If you have Beta 9.9, you already have Akismet installed.

1. You'll need a WordPress API key if you don't already have one. You can get one here... Where is my WordPress.com API key? « WordPress.com
2. Update your utils.php with this (click here) changeset
3. Update your /libs/comment.php with this (click here) changeset
4. Upload the contents of the attached file into your modules folder
5. Enable the Akismet module
6. Access the module by using the 'Spam' link at the top
7. Enter your WordPress API key

If Akismet says a comment is spam, it will not be saved. It just disappears.

If Akismet says a story is spam, it is still submitted, but there will be a link at the top to either confirm or deny that it is spam. Confirming will change the status to discard.

This is a very basic / beta module and more features are coming.

To UPGRADE, just upload the new file, replacing the existing ones.

Have a bit of a problem, the spam solution worked for a day or two, but now the attack has been modified a bit.

Instead of a huge number of spam messages I only got three or four. Also when I go to delete the comments, the delete checkbox is missing until I edit it and put in "deleted by moderator"

So are you saying when you go into your admin cp and select Comment Management your check boxes are missing? Almost as if your site was hacked and modified?

I am also experiencing this. I made a post about this yesterday but it was deleted from admin!

Can you send me your god username/password (or create a new god user) so I can take a look?

Yes I will right now!

Actually I believe that the script that they are using to inject the spam messes with how it shows up in comment management. Like I said, it fixes itself once I click the "removed by moderator" link.

I'll update you guys if I notice anything else strange.

My sites are still fairly new and have little traffic:

TechKnowledgeIt / Published News

and daBahamianTing.com News / Published News

Hi, thx for the Akismet n Captcha mods.

Unfortunately I found this problem. After I've install Akismet n Captcha following your instruction, now no one can register.

It's said that the password confirmation is not the same.

My Pligg site is Rank My Wall / Published Wallpaper --> please test by registering as new member.

Thank you.

Akismet is great on my Wordpress Blogs. I'll try this pre-emptively.
