Akismet filter is much too restrictive

[Christian Boos]

Well, I tried to do the following change on TracChangeset, from:

The last possibility for examining changes is to have a use the ''Last Change''
link provided by the TracBrowser.

to:

The last possibility for examining changes is to use the ''Last Change''
link provided by the TracBrowser.

but forgot to login… then I got the "Akismet rejected change" error message.

If this happens for such minor changes, I wonder how much contributions we still can get from our users…

Compared this with spam which still gets in despite the filter (comment:ticket:1459:28), and I wonder how effective the Akismet filter really is…

So maybe we should try to find a better anti-spam system, and quickly disable Akismet which prevents valid contributions.

The change in question: ​http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracChangeset?action=diff&version=13

(same thing for this comment: I first tried as anonymous, and bam, "Akismet rejected spam" again…)

Actually anything I enter gets rejected.

I just experienced the same issue: unable to comment until I've logged in (original comment:ticket:3327:10)

This is cmlenz, commenting without having logged in.

I hope this works for me as well

So maybe Akismet is just blocking french IP ranges ;-)

Well, seems to work again for me too ;)

False alarm, due to a temporary issue on the Akismet side (​http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.subversion.trac.devel/868)
