[Phpwebsite-developers] Stopping Spam

[Shaun M. <sh...@ae...>]

We're probably still, mostly, below the radar but there were a few  
reports today of both comment spam and anonymous announcement  
submissions. The former can be a real problem, the latter more a  
nuisance as they go to the approval queue.

In cvs for 0.10.x I've already patched the announce module to allow  
users to switch off anonymous submission if they so desire but we  
need some kind of solution to spambots. Wordpress and Moveable Type  
are using a 3rd party anti-spam plugin - http://akismet.com/

Anyone fancy porting that? or have another idea?
