Currently +GitLab uses Akismet to prevent users who are not members of a project from +creating spam via the GitLab API. 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/ + +2. Sign-in or create a new account. + +3. Click on "Show" to reveal the API key. + +4. Go to Applications Settings on Admin Area (`admin/application_settings`) + +5. Check the `Enable Akismet` checkbox + +6. Fill in the API key from step 3. + +7. Save the configuration. + + |
