    Lyceum is still requiring each blog to get its own Akismet key, rather than having a single key protect the whole system (as is the
    case with Movable Type). Clearly this approach doesn't scale, and requires a great deal of manual effort on the part of sysadmins or
    users.

    What are the current best options for system-wide Lyceum spam control that can be configured centrally by the admin, not individually by
    the users?

    This is surely worth a wiki page, but would appreciate any tips here.

    Thanks,
    Scot

    I'm using Spam karma, and it works well with wordpress.
    I have it installed for Lyceum too but haven't tested it in anger.

    ShadyCraig - Can you confirm that SpamKarma can definitely be installed in Lyceum for system-wide protection, and doesn't need to be configured for each individual blog?

    Thanks,
    Scot

    It can indeed and that's just what I did.

    There is an options page on each blog but I didn't mess with the settings. I don't know how it would behave... same settings for all or per blog? Don't know I'm afraid.

    I suppose you would need to disable the options page somehow if you didn't want user to edit the settings.

    I just tried SpamKarma2. I get a large number of SQL errors, so 'd have to say it doesn't work with Lyceum. Additionally, it appears as if blog owners can view and moderate comments from all other blog -- probably not what we want.

    Hmmm, despite the SQL errors, SK2 does seem to work -- however users can see comments across all blogs.

    Hi Dave,

    I don't get any SQL errors on my install, however I haven't actually received any comments yet (spam or otherwise) so maybe that's the difference?

    Having all comments visible to all users is not what we want for sure.
    I wonder how hard it would be to implement?
