Akismet Anti SPAM AddOn/Hack

[Puffin]

Hi,

I installed the plug-in and everything seems to be fine. Plug is recognized, Api Code is correct, I have the 2 new buttons in the comment section but unfortunately all spam (atm 300 per day) is getting through....and is not recognized...

Any ideas?

Thx in advance!

you should report them as spam to AKismet and you won't receive them anymore.

OK I did this with the last 100...and will do so with next 1000....

Great little addon! Got a issue though...

If I've got the "COMMENT MODERATION" option AND the "Pixelpost Akismet comment filter" both set to ON, the moderation doesn't seem to work.

I get the message that the comment has been received and is waiting for approval, but the comment instantly appears on returning to the image.

When I turn off the Akismet addon, the moderation works fine...

Any thoughts?

The addon is meant to work with Moderation Off at the moment else it will need a bit more hacking of index.php

this is really strange due to the fact that the plugin works gracefully in my installation with getting exactly the same spam from the same sender !?

not a single false-positive mark from the addon (> 300 spam-comments since yesterday) and up to now there was no need for me to hit the report-spam-button !

ok, i'm glad it's working fine with me but why the heck it isn't working at jens' installation !?

pretty weird...

Well without actually looking into the install it is very difficult - there have been instances where people have not verified their API keys / do not have api keys the servers do not allow sockets function etc etc...

Am glad it is working for you

Actually, this isn't true. You'll just have them sent to the moderation queue.

There's a new kiddie script out there. I'm getting spam comments on each and every image every day now. It's becoming quite the pain to delete them all.

I would welcome an addition automatically delete comments in the moderation queue after a specified time. I've never had a valid comment get sent to the moderation queue.

Hopefully I will have some time next week - meanwhile anyone wanting to take a shot at it please do - this is a high demand item

I also implemented Akismet in Pixelpost 1.5rc1, it works great! I receive about 300 SPAM comments every day. All are recognized by Akismet, but it is still a hard job to delete them from the moderation queue manualy, because also not moderated real comments are between them. Maybe a SPAM queue can be introduced or an option to select all moderated comments or a special SPAM mark to recognize them. It would be fine to delete them all at once with one push on the button.
