 * Hi,
 * Please look into an issue where wpDiscuz 7.6.67—with Akismet 5.7.2 activated—
   triggers the error `This comment is not acceptable` for any comment from any 
   guest, regardless of the IP address. The comment does not appear on the frontend;
   instead, it goes straight to `Comments --> Spam`.
 * The same thing happens with the latest wpDiscuz 7.6.68, which displays the error
   message defined in the `Message if comment was marked as spam` field.
 * This is clearly a conflict with Akismet: everything works perfectly when Akismet
   is deactivated.
 * This didn’t happen before!
 * P.S. There have already been a couple of threads discussing this (see [here](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-posting-comments-this-comment-is-not-acceptable/)
   and [here](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-when-posting-comments-this-comment-is-not-acceptable-2/)),
   but unfortunately, you persistently attribute this bug to user settings or other
   site configuration specifics.
