 * Hi all, I have a wp-multisite setup. Each site is cloned from a parent site with
   its own sub-directory. Is it recommended to network activate Akismet or should
   it be activated per site?
 * Thanks

 * Sorry for the late response!
 * There is some documentation for configuring Akismet for Multisite at [https://akismet.com/support/general/auto-activating-and-configuring-akismet-for-wordpress/](https://akismet.com/support/general/auto-activating-and-configuring-akismet-for-wordpress/)
 * I don’t believe we have a recommendation one way or the other. How you configure
   it is a decision you should make based on how you want to adminster your Multisite
   network.
