Sorry, I saw your answer right after posting my previous message.
Thank you very much for changing the article.
About the advertising inserted by R-Antispam, I really thought I had already make it invisible by default. I guess I had the intention and then forgot it. I already changed the extension so this option is disabled by default, so the annoying link at the bottom is only shown if users wants to.

Posting again...
Sorry for posting so much. I guess you will mark me as a spammer, ha ha ha.
I just want to note that you are right about R-Antispam detecting false positives. Yes, the heuristic method may do that.
Anyway, you can disable this option in configuration by unchecking "Integrate with Kunena". And then you can set the Akismet option, of course you will need an Akismet key, you can get it for free at akismet site.
So, this picture would be the preferred configuration of R-Antispam:

Hi Ratmill,

thanks for the instruction, just to be sure:
you have set Kunena, handle all input, use plugin to NO.
This sounds like it is turned off? How does this integrate with Kunena technically if the above settings are set to NO?

Hi, Ruud.
R-Antispam integrates with Kunena by default. It checks the text sent by users to the forum and applies a heuristic method to know if it is spam or not. However, as sozzled said this method may detect false positives. So, if you think this is happening to you, you can disable Kunena integration.
But you have to protect somehow, so you can enable Akistmet. This option will trigger spammer detection on user registration, verifying with Akismet online database.
That is the option I am using right now. Although I didn't get much false detection.

Thanks Ratmill,

on my forums I have enabled guest posting. So no registration necessary > will the akismet option then still work?

I must admit that I 'never' had false positives (except for one of my own posts with a lot of links in it :)))

Yes, the Akismet option will work. Although I can´t tell you how good it will work because I don´t have public posting enabled and spammers always get caught on registration.
But as soon as you supply an Akismet key, spam detection will be checked with Akismet, R-Antispam database will be ignored.
