Antispam Bee


Using it since years and had no spam in my blog ever. Simple, clean, works.


Best Antispam Plugin


I've tested this plugin and seems to working very well. Most spam comments are gone, some of them (just a little) are able to avoid spam filters.



There is something need to be fixed and I'm already posted in support forum. I hope that it will be fixed soon.


Very good spam filter plugin.


Works quite well without calling out to a remote service, and doesn't require your visitors to be using JavaScript. (Seriously, I posted a test comment using Dillo and it showed up in the moderation queue!) No need to deal with API keys or licensing.



There are some optional tactics that will call a remote service for things like language identification, but so far it's doing the job fine without them!



The only problem I've had with it is that it only acts on comments, not on other features like contact forms.


Privacy-friendly spam filter


Simple to set up and use. Catches all the spam and deletes it before I get a chance to see it. Might miss one or two pieces a week, but that's still better than JetPack and it preserves my users' privacy.


Works better than JetPack

Sophisticated antispam plugin for effective daily comment and trackback spam-fighting. Built with data protection and privacy in mind.

<p>Unspam by Squelch Design is the simplest <a href="http://squelchdesign.com/wordpress-plugin-squelch-unspam/" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress anti-spam plugin</a> you can find for <strong>reducing your comment spam</strong> problem. Once installed there’s nothing<br />
to configure, and nothing changes to your visitors: No captcha or silly games. Once installed<br />
the plugin will simply randomize the names of the fields in the comments form on your blog and reject comments that are sent to the<br />
standard WordPress field names, or where bots have blindly submitted data to the honeypot fields.</p>
<p>What this means for spammers is that they have to do quite a lot more work to send spam to your website. It may also make sending<br />
spam to your website unreliable as changes to your theme may upset their spam submission tools. Or they may have to resort to using<br />
humans to send spam to your website (not much I can do about that I’m afraid) which will cost them more money.</p>
<p>Currently implemented:</p>
<ul>
<li>Names of fields are randomized every night at 12:00,</li>
<li>Submissions to the standard WordPress field names are automatically deleted,</li>
<li>Honeypot fields added to comments form,</li>
<li>WooCommerce support.</li>
</ul>
<p>Additional (planned) features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Contact Form 7 integration</li>
<li>Statistical collection,</li>
<li>Automated blocking of persistent IPs,</li>
<li>Opt-in centralized collection of comment spam and statistics for additional research.</li>
</ul>
