Introduction
============

`Akismet <http://akismet.com>`_ is a web service for recognising spam comments. 
collective.akismet provides a Plone integration of the Akismet web service and 
is based on the 
`Akismet Python interface <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/akismet>`_ package.

collective.akismet was developed as Spam protection plugin for 
`plone.app.discussion`_, but it can be used independently

.. _plone.app.discussion: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/plone.app.discussion

collective.akismet provides a form validator that connects to the Akismet web 
service and raises a validation error if Akismet detects spam. The form 
validator expects three form fields/values in the request: 
'form.widgets.author_name', 'form.widgets.author_email', and 'form.widgets.text'.

collective.akismet requires at least plone.app.discussion 1.0b5.
