# Akismet
|
|
|
|
> *Note:* Before 8.11 only issues submitted via the API and for non-project
|
|
members were submitted to Akismet.
|
|
|
|
GitLab leverages [Akismet](https://akismet.com/) to protect against spam. Currently
|
|
GitLab uses Akismet to prevent the creation of spam issues on public projects. Issues
|
|
created via the WebUI or the API can be submitted to Akismet for review.
|
|
|
|
Detected spam will be rejected, and an entry in the "Spam Log" section in the
|
|
Admin page will be created.
|
|
|
|
Privacy note: GitLab submits the user's IP and user agent to Akismet. Note that
|
|
adding a user to a project will disable the Akismet check and prevent this
|
|
from happening.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
To use Akismet:
|
|
|
|
1. Go to the URL: <https://akismet.com/account/>
|
|
|
|
1. Sign-in or create a new account.
|
|
|
|
1. Click on **Show** to reveal the API key.
|
|
|
|
1. Go to Applications Settings on Admin Area (`admin/application_settings`)
|
|
|
|
1. Check the **Enable Akismet** checkbox
|
|
|
|
1. Fill in the API key from step 3.
|
|
|
|
1. Save the configuration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Training
|
|
|
|
> *Note:* Training the Akismet filter is only available in 8.11 and above.
|
|
|
|
As a way to better recognize between spam and ham, you can train the Akismet
|
|
filter whenever there is a false positive or false negative.
|
|
|
|
When an entry is recognized as spam, it is rejected and added to the Spam Logs.
|
|
From here you can review if they are really spam. If one of them is not really
|
|
spam, you can use the **Submit as ham** button to tell Akismet that it falsely
|
|
recognized an entry as spam.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If an entry that is actually spam was not recognized as such, you will be able
|
|
to also submit this to Akismet. The **Submit as spam** button will only appear
|
|
to admin users.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Training Akismet will help it to recognize spam more accurately in the future.
