Description

We've been seeing a lot of false positive reports from Akismet recently, which made me look into the Akismet API docs some more: ​https://akismet.com/development/api/#comment-check.

One thing that stood out is the 'recheck_reason' parameter, which is supposed to be used when rechecking older content or edits. We currently do not send this parameter during forum post edits, which might make the forum post more susceptible for Akismet to return a spam response.

I'll try and work up a patch when I have a bit of time.

Akismet: Identify edits as rechecks.

Send recheck_reason=edit when checking edited topics and replies so Akismet can evaluate updated content with the correct context. Leave new submissions unchanged and add coverage for both content types.

In trunk, for 2.7.

Props r-a-y.
