Re: Prevent spam when unregistered users are allowed to post
Three weeks ago I set out to test bbPress with Akismet. Here is what I found.
– Akismet requires manual spam deletion under all circumstances
– Akismet cannot block by IP
– Akismet cannot prevent users from creating tags in bbPress. All bogus tags must be removed manually. It is not clear to me why users are allowed to create tags to begin with.
I took a fit this AM and turned off both WP Comments and bbPress. All I really want to do is create content. However, there is another part of me that is not ready to be directed by cockroaches.
I am wondering if Spammer Blocker will play well with Akismet. I am also wondering if there are other worthwhile strategies I have not yet found.
Comments?
