Would like to find some info/help with settings for Akismet at ACP, ie...
"Usergroups to Ignore
Usergroups, separated by a comma, to ignore. Use the usergroup id, not the name.
<textbox> 6,4,3"
Came with setting, not sure what means.
You specific a list of group IDs, you can get the ID of a group from the end of the URL when you edit that group in the ACP.

Thanks for the info !
So, basically the groups shown at ACP are...
Guests
Registered
Super Moderators
Administrators
Awaiting Activation
Moderators
Banned
...and when click on one, the url shows a number at the end which is basically the order in which they are listed (ie Banned=7) ?
And the only place to get info about is at
http://akismet.com/ ?
Thought MyBB may have some wiki info (couldnt find at wiki) or something ?
Question whether to add all user groups to the Aksimet 'scan' process or not... what is the effect on like a 'registered' user ?
Thanks again.
What information are you looking for exactly?? No, you don't want to enable it for all users, because then it might ban admins/mods. The plugin just connects with the Akismet service to see whether a post is considered a spam post, and will ban them if it thinks they are a spammer.

Sorry for the delay in getting back and thanking you for the reply.
Have been learning more about MyBB and Akismet.
Finally realized needed to pay for Akismet service (API Key).
Went ahead and did, but not sure how to tell if it is actively blocking spam.
Where should I look for that info ?
Thanks again for your help.
