  I’m getting sexually oriented spam on the “join us” form, about 2/hour.

  I don’t see any sign that Akismet is even on this site. There’s no “plugin” tab on the left side of my Dashboard page. Do I have Akismet and if not, how do I get it? Akismet stats are there, showing no spam caught.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Sorry, the site name was a field on the form to send a comment. I guess it doesn’t come through.

  it’s http://irvonline.org

  Not sure Akismet is even on the site.

  Not to worry about the links. Contact Akismet Staff and provide this URL for the page in question with the contact form on it http://irvonline.org/join-us/
