##        Mod title:  Akismet for PunBB
##
##      Mod version:  1.0
##   Works on PunBB:  1.2, 1.2.12
##     Release date:  2006-08-19
##           Author:  Per Soderlind (per@soderlind.no)
##
##      Description:  This mod will add Akismet spam protection to your forum. 
##                    If Akismet decides that a entry is a spam, the mod will block 
##                    the entry and ban the user (both name and IP). The administrator 
##                    can, using the included plugin, recover a entry from spam,
##                    and at the same time un-ban the user.
##
##   Affected files:  post.php
##
##       Affects DB:  Yes, adds a new table: $db->prefix.akismet
##
##            Notes:  You'll have to add your Akismet api key to make it work.
##                    To obtain a key, see http://wordpress.com/api-keys/
##                    You'll find information about Akismet at http://akismet.com/
##

##                    PunBB. Installation of this modification is done at your

This seems like a very useful mod

Mark · 2006-08-20 15:28:32

what if it decides a non spam post is spam?

edit - i now read with glasses on, that admin can recover the post removed

Thank you Hopefully not to buggy either. I've tested it on LAMP (PHP5) and WAMP (PHP4). The installer supportes pgsql and sqlite too.

The included plugin lets you "un-spam" an entry that Akismet wrongfully deceided was a spam. The user will at the same time be un-baned.

If you can't wait until you get some spam, here's a screenshot of the plugin

Note: This is from my test server, so the "spam" you see is generated by me.

Zimmer92 · 2006-08-21 02:06:47

Wow
Incredibly sweet mod
Tanks!

Nice, will give it a try.

greenlake · 2006-08-24 06:05:01

How can I test if Akismet works? I post the same data as shown in your screenshot, but it wasn't taken as spammer. I followed the steps in your readme.txt, do I need to do something else? Thanks.

PS · 2006-08-24 06:15:21

moderator, please un-ban me if this example blocked me, I presume you are using my mod

Seeing as there still is quite alot of spam, I doubt it's installed

Haven't seen Jannson in a while, the list of users to delete keeps growing.

thegleek · 2006-08-24 09:00:39

oh it works alright. prob is a lot of my users were just posting normal posts (non-spam) and akismet banned them immediately.

when i went into the AP module to unban them, akismet rebanned them everytime they posted again.

so cuz of that alone, it was a major inconvenience and i have commented out all the akismet code within the post.php script.

what kind of "normal" post are they posting ? It works like a charm at my site.

Frank H · 2006-08-24 12:40:46

watched thegleek, and I see why it could react on some of the posts ... swearing etc. might trigger it, if so, all those f words might tick it off

And if it's a post in the NSFW section, it might be fully wrong

Hello,

I would like to make that mod evaluate guest topics only (noeither members neither moderators topics).
Do someone have a working solution please ?

Thanks !

I don't see the point having this option, spam is spam. My forum is member only, and spammers sign up just to be able to post spam.

abclf · 2006-09-04 05:00:42

At this time, I have no problem with members (email confirmation), but two of them are banned by akismet (even with no url included in post...). So I would like to make the mod only work for guest messages. That is my own need.
If it is not yours, keep the original way.

hah so true, how'd u get into the nsfw section? you signed up for an acct?

elbekko · 2006-09-28 13:16:01

Read your post about it in another thread... and yes I have an account there (was checking it out).
And I was also the one who told you to put the NSFW warning in your sig

chucky · 2006-10-09 09:20:34

i installed your mod, it's a must-have plugin ^^

<shameless> I agree </shameless>, it has prevented a lot of spam from appearing in my forum (tough, some of the pictures are 'nice' ).

This was exactly the thing i was looking for! I'm having alot of spambot issues lately on my forum. I think this mod will do away with the problem completely

Thank you very much, PS!

Hi!
I use akismet on both wordpress and punbb...
Everything works well...except that one of my users can't post anything on the forum:
it always go to the spam and he got ban anytime...event though I "unban" him, soon as he posts again, he gets banned!
Is there a way to chage spam-filter policy?

Thanks!

Splitsch
