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.

Thanx for the in depth solution.
I've installed Akismetand most looks well, but in 'Akismet Anti-Spam Settings' it doesn't allow me to set any settings.

Are we only allowed using this key on so many sites. I try and add the key and when I press update it's the same thing. Asking me to add the key again.

Any advice? It's just no updating

the new utils and comment.php file breaks my comments. when you comment on a story nothing shows up.

Thanks AshDigg. Funny thing is my registration has not been working and I didn't know it. Some guy emailed me requesting help and once I fixed it tens of users and spam comments showed up. So the spammer helped and spammed me at same time

Is there a trick to editing the settings?
