[spam-stopper] Meatball experimenting with Akismet

[Shayne O'Neill]

Hey , thats a smart idea. I've seen some wiki's brutalised BADLY by 
spammers (My old one was effectively destroyed, it was a hand coded one 
for a one-off and had no real defenses).

I might have a stab at building an akismet module for phpwiki (nice one, 
think media-wiki lite), seeing as its a pretty damn easy wiki to hack.

Also, status report: I integrated akismet with activismo, a CMS designed 
for the "indymedia" political-left open publishing sites, and its working 
a charm. Heck I'm even getting my afternoons back. It unfortuntately 
reports 127.0.0.1 to the akismet system, but thats an unfortunate side 
effect of a apache setup custom hacked to remove all IP logging for user 
security sake. It still works a treat. One or two misses, but thats well 
better than a couple hundred spams a day.
