Honestly, I’m just frustrated because bbPress only has Akismet for spam defense and it’s not really free. I’ve changed the title of this feedback and the rating.
Akismet may stop spam from being on the website itself but it just tosses the unfiltered spam dangerously through remote mail relays. Some of the recipients of these Akismet notification emails will be using an aggressive blocklist provider without knowing it for their mail filtration. This gets mail servers flagged and added to global blocklists over time, which can take months of negotiation and fees to be removed.
