Didn't see much mention in this topic, and it is pretty old. So not sure if you are aware but there is built in spam verification now, and I'd also suggest the recaptcha module.

As for akismet, don't have any experience with it so can't help you out. Sorry.

A classical way of preventing (bot) spam is the honeypot:

In your form include a field called "Website" (or email, or whatever relevant) and hide it with css (display:none) and in the processing script don't continue if there is something in there and if its empty continue processing.

I have no clue how to get that validation in silverstripe, but it would be great to have in default "contact" forms and user-made forms.

Any ideas how to get this working?

Thanks.
