Akismet on yet another system (kill the spam, kill the spam)

  • 0 min read

Automattic’€™s wonderful spam fighting plugin for Wordpress, Akismet, is available for 24 different systems/platforms according to Matt & Co.

The latest one is a “mod” (they’€™re called that) for one of the best open source forums out there made by Per Soderlind (of ImageManager fame – a favourite of mine). PunBB is the name of the, er, forum, and now you can fight spam there as well.

It’€™s nice to see Akismet’€™s branching out. The fight against spam isn’€™t just in your inbox and on your blog ‘€“ it’€™s everywhere and the more trouble the spammers have to go through the better for everybody else. Go get them!
