Description
Hi. I'm korean. Please understand mistake in text.
I installed akismet 6.x-1.x-dev or 6.x-1.0-beta1 with drupal 6.2 and setted configuration.
But akismet plugin not working.
I go into akismet moderation queue and trying to view comment or nodes.
But I have got error "Access Denied" (I logon as Administor..)
One more.. other user already posted this..
When click comment's links relative to akismet module, return error "Page not found"
#1
I have the same issues. Also spam seems to get through fine.
#2
Same thing here, just realized it's not working right...
#3
Same issue. Clicking "Submit Spam" takes me to page not found. Nothing is going into the moderation queue.
#4
Anyone found a solution yet?
#5
@ thedawn
The issue title is not the comment title; please, do not change it to "same issue", or "same problem".
#6
I'm seeing the same thing. Running Drupal 6.4.
#7
Here is a patch that takes it a little closer to working. The menu system still needs an overhaul (i.e. admin pages don't work), but I think everything else is done.
#8
BTW, you really should unpublish the beta, it's not anywhere near beta yet.
#9
seems like ... support is down :(
#10
The patch seems to take the module back to an older version.
What is the purpose of this? The older version is always available to the download; then I don't see the utility of such thing.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I see that the patch changes the 1.28 of a $Id$ to 1.26.

The title of the issue helps people to understand what is the problem with a Drupal module. Changing it to Drupal 6 support doesn't help to understand what is the issue. Let us state that this module doesn't work.
#12
I would not expect any support for this module, as the project page clearly states:
Just follow the suggestion, and use Mollom, which has been written by Dries Buytaert (yes, he is the lead of Drupal).
#13
and what happed if you don't like mollom?
#14
Mollon is restricted..
If you use free license, mollom only block 100 spam per day.
For a commertial, limit is up to 10000.
On the another hands, akismet seem not have limit. Also free keys limits not shown clearly. Akismet homepage's description is different tfraffic and throttle. But i can't understand this sentence.
Who are tell me about this point?
However, I don't like Mollon's policy, then, i decide to make another akismet module.
I'm leaning akismet API and drupal API now.
Aksimet's API to seems to easy, but drupal's API a few difficult.
If leaning is done, i'll start to develop module.

I'm using the Akismet for Drupal 5. Latest non dev version. It works fine except for not honoring the "do not check" permission. So a lot of people I have given the "No Check" permission are checked anyway.
I tried Mollom. It made it two days and I was hit 4 times by the same spammer. Apparently it doesn't learn on it's own as Akismet does. So I removed Mollom and went back to the Akismet module and various CAPTCHA's I have installed.
Mollom may be better with time, but it's knowledge base is too immature for my situation right now.
#16
@nsyll: I don't see much alternatives, so far; or you use a buggy module, or you use Mollom, or you try an alternative by using Rules and write a little of code yourself.
#17
Actual right now i use capcha to fight the spammers at Drupal 6.
#18
That works if a web site doesn't permit the creation of an account, or if it is permitted but the account is not automatically active.
In my case, somebody registered an account, and started to publish spam content.
#19
Right now, I use:
The combo works fairly well, with the occasional person with No Akismet Checking permission being caught as a spammer till I submit them as Ham.
I use the Math, unrelated word and Re-Captcha for the Captchas. They seem to work fairly well so far.
Guess I'll stay with this setup for a while... all in Drupal 5.
#20
Who has an almost working version ? Please upload it.
Thanks.
#21
The issue title is not the comment title.
#22
True. My mistake.
Any progress on making a new version / update ?
#23
Basing on what the project page states (Sept 5, 2008 Update: this module is pretty unsupported at this point), I think there will not be a new version unless somebody else becomes the new maintainer.
#24
Hi all, I submitted a patch that restores some critical functionality to akismet in d6 here:
