Akismet support

[Nightgunner5]

bb supported Akismet. WP supports Akismet. bbP needs to learn to follow the ways of its elders. In the meantime, I wrote a plugin that should tide us over until it can be incorporated into core.

Just a note when we implement this: Subscriptions notification function should check if the reply is a spam or not too.

I've been noticing that the spam topics that are marked as spam by the plugin still show up as the latest topic in a forum. I'll have to look into this.

Do we know if this patch is still good? Do we have confirmation that it's working as expected?

It marks spam posts as spam (as expected), but it has a problem with letting spam tags through.

(In [3222]) Allow just-in-time manipulation of topic and reply data before creating or editing them. See #1477.

Add just-in-time manipulation to new_reply and edit_reply tags. Akismet will use the terms filter on a new reply to keep tags, on a reply marked as spam, from being added to the topic. I've almost got a new Akismet patch to post :) Hopefully tonight or tomorrow.

See r3255. Props cnorris23. Sorry I missed it in the commit message.

Closing this to clean up the milestone.

From what I can see, all of the _POST requests have adequate filters on them for allowing Akismet (or any other spam prevention tool) to hook in.

Anyone that's working on (or has) a finished bbPress 2.0 Akismet plugin, please contact me so we can work closely together to code review and finalize it asap.

Posted on IRC, but I'll repost the link here: ​http://pastebin.com/kvtbZSz0

Forgot to add the reply_id to the terms filters.

Also, the patch filename should be ignored. The patch contents are correct. Just a little brainfart.

See r3268. Fixed again.
