Sal Ferrarello

<p>Sometimes when replying to a comment, I fail to reply and instead create a new<br />
comment. This prevents the comment thread from displaying properly.  In the<br />
past, I’ve fixed this directly in the database.  This plugin, allows me to fix<br />
it from the backend comment edit screen.</p>
<p>There are other plugins with similar functionality, however they either worked differently than I prefer or included additional functionality. One of these other plugins may meet your needs better.</p>

Antispam Bee

I have been using this for several years now and not had a single issue with spam.

lightweight and awesome.

Thank you.

The best antispam plugin


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


This is an amazing free plugin!What a mental dysfunction to generate spam, what a waste of resources, time, attention.Antispam Bee does a great job, for free.Thank you!
