# 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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
