I'm not going to modify it though until they do break it just so they can't adapt quickly. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/askimet-spam-false-positives#post-18531 Thu, 21 Aug 2008 12:18:29 +0000 chrishajer 18531@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Ditto on the bozo feature. Never did understand that or get any benefit from it. At least it's a plugin now where you can disable it. And the Human Test plugin works remarkably well in the arms race against preventing spammers from registering. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/askimet-spam-false-positives#post-18526 Thu, 21 Aug 2008 10:53:54 +0000 _ck_ 18526@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I turn off Akismet and just use Human Test to prevent bots from registering: <a href="http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/human-test/" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/human-test/</a></p> <p>You just never know when a user will improperly get "bozo-ed" and you might miss their messages entirely. In fact i turn off the bozo feature too, it's never quite worked right. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/askimet-spam-false-positives#post-18445 Tue, 19 Aug 2008 01:17:48 +0000 chrishajer 18445@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Not as far as I know. Akismet is sort of a "black box" so they do not release what triggers being marked as a spammer. If they did, the spammers could work around that.</p> <p>Some people turn Akismet off and deal with the spam rather than deal with the false positives. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/askimet-spam-false-positives#post-18441 Mon, 18 Aug 2008 23:22:35 +0000 Phayze 18441@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>A lot of my users' posts are being marked as spam and being moved to the Akismet queue, when they're obviously not - is there a way of toning down the checks that the plugin does, so it's not so critical of valid postings?</p> <p>Thanks, </p>
