<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>
