Tired of comment spam? Let Akismet take care of it for you.
I have never heard of Lasso before today, but Jason Huck has implemented the Akismet API in Lasso for any developers out there who might be using that scripting language.
It has of course been added to our development page which is starting to fill out nicely.
Thanks Jason!
Andrew Ferguson has a nice write up of how he used the Akismet API in his custom error page.
We’re pretty happy to announce that the complete spam protection that WordPress users have enjoyed since Akismet started is now available for Movable Type. We commisioned Tim Appnel to write the plugin, which he finished a few months, and we’ve been extensively testing it to make sure it worked satisfactorily.
It still isn’t 100% to where we want it, as interactions with MT’s built-in spam filters and options can negate Akismet’s effectiveness, but we feel it’s now to a point where it can provide a much better protection than MT users are getting currently.
Of course when it rains it pours, and just a day or two ago Stepan Riha independently wrote another MT plugin. You can download the official Akismet for MT, Stepan’s version, and several other implementations on our development page. Enjoy!
