Comment (by Shapeshifter 3):

 I've received notification that Akismet needs to be updated to version
 3.0.1 for several days. On 3 sites that I own (all using the current Beta
 Version of WordPress, that update refuses to work. I tried to disable and
 then delete the plugin on 2 of the sites, and Akismet was reinstalled on
 both of them. My current thought is to try replacing Akismet usage with
 this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/zero-spam/ whose author seems
 to indicate that I will not need to use the Captcha plugin anymore either.

 Any thoughts?
