Adds a [wpide_akismet_count] shortcode that shows how many spam comments Akismet has blocked on your site, a small trust signal for footers and contact pages.
Adds a wpide_akismet_is_spam() helper that sends a name, email and message from any custom form to Akismet and tells you whether it looks like spam, so your hand-built forms get the same protection as comments.
Removes the "X approved" badge Akismet shows next to each commenter in Comments, which some moderators find distracting or which reveals too much about returning visitors.
Changes how long Akismet keeps caught spam before deleting it (15 days by default), giving you more time to rescue legitimate comments marked as spam.
Turns on the Akismet privacy notice below the comment form and replaces it with your own wording and link to your privacy policy, which many privacy laws expect.
Stops sending comments from logged-in users who can edit posts (authors, editors, administrators) to Akismet, saving API calls and keeping staff replies out of the spam queue.
Emails forum moderators and keymasters when a topic or reply lands in the pending queue (for example from Akismet or moderation rules), so nothing waits for days.
