You start hitting restrictions when your total volume gets too high, in which case you might opt for the commercial Akismet license instead. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/akismet-key-id-1#post-16792 Tue, 17 Jun 2008 23:58:47 +0000 chrishajer 16792@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>WordPress.com says this about the keys:</p> <p>"Please use your own API Key and don’t ever share your API it is like a password for you =)"</p> <p>I don't know about advantages or disadvantages for using the same key.

Since they don't publish what triggers someone to get caught as spam, it's hard to say exactly what triggers it. But posting a lot of links certainly will cause you to be marked as a spammer by Akismet. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/whitelisting#post-15277 Fri, 11 Apr 2008 18:55:19 +0000 pfdebate 15277@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>She is not marked as a bozo.

Is there a way to do this with a plugin? I tried and tried, but I couldn't figure out how to array_push a new Role on that array.

In that I have no idea why it happens.</p> <p>I had a user last night sign up, go straight to a thread where users post their myspace pages, and post his. And bam, Akismet said spam, and bbpress said "bozo".</p> <p>Every subsequent post by this guy was held back as spam. I finally had the presence of mind to edit his profile and saw he was marked as a <em>bozo</em>. I changed the 1 to 0, thinking naturally that it was a logical flag, which indeed it is, but still every new post by this guy was getting marked as spam. I went into mysql and queried <em>bb_usermeta</em> with his user_id, and saw there was an <em>is_bozo = 0</em> in there. I deleted that row, but still, all new posts by him were getting marked as spam. And the bozo thing wasn't returning.</p> <p>Eventually I disabled Akismet. Now, naturally, there are no posts getting marked as spam. But I had to re-enable Akismet because there were still a couple of posts I hadn't marked as "not spam", and when Akismet isn't installed, you can't mark things as spam/not spam.</p> <p>I'm running my forum with a few people (around 10) in it at the moment, just to test it out before I start advertising it more. So it's not a huge problem, but the point is it really freaked me out that this could happen on a daily basis to alot of users if I had Akismet turned on and a bunch of new registrations.</p> <p>Anyone have any ideas? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/akismet-key-id-1#post-10465 Fri, 24 Aug 2007 14:48:42 +0000 chrishajer 10465@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>RonJRoy, bbPress and Wordpress are not really related, and a wordpress.com login is necessary just for the Akismet key. The login for bbPress does not work at wordpress.com. </p> <p>One thing I always thought was weird though is that the wordpress.com login works for trac.bbpress.org.</p> <p>Glad you got it sorted.
