# Akismet
GitLab leverages [Akismet](http://akismet.com) to protect against spam. 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.
> *Note:* As of 8.10 GitLab also submits issues created via the WebUI by non
project members to Akismet to prevent spam.
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.
