<p>This plugin automatically scatters invisible links to <a href="http://www.projecthoneypot.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">Project Honey Pot</a> spam traps<br />
throughout your wordpress blog to help catch and stop spammers.</p>
<p>Project Honey Pot is the first and only distributed system for identifying spammers and the spambots they use<br />
to scrape addresses from your website. Using the Project Honey Pot system you can install addresses that are<br />
custom-tagged to the time and IP address of a visitor to your site. If one of these addresses begins receiving<br />
email Project Honey Pot not only can tell that the messages are spam, but also the exact moment when the address<br />
was harvested and the IP address that gathered it.</p>
<p>Install this plugin to help contribute to the project and catch spammers by hiding links to honey pots (spam traps)<br />
in your blog.  The links are never visible to human visitors, but the spambots and crawlers follow them straight into<br />
the traps.</p>
<p>Note: this plugin will not directly prevent spam on your site, but will help prevent spam for everyone by helping to catch the spammers.</p>
<p>If you also want to use the Project Honey Pot API to detect and block spammers from your site, try the <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/httpbl/" rel="ugc">http:BL plugin</a>.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>

<p>The best anti-spam protection to block spam comments and spam in a contact form. The most trusted antispam solution for WordPress and WooCommerce.</p>
<p>Akismet checks your comments and contact form submissions against our global database of spam to prevent your site from publishing malicious content. You can review the comment spam it catches on your blog’s “Comments” admin screen.</p>
<p>Major features in Akismet include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Automatically checks all comments and filters out the ones that look like spam.</li>
<li>Each comment has a status history, so you can easily see which comments were caught or cleared by Akismet and which were spammed or unspammed by a moderator.</li>
<li>URLs are shown in the comment body to reveal hidden or misleading links.</li>
<li>Moderators can see the number of approved comments for each user.</li>
<li>A discard feature that outright blocks the worst spam, saving you disk space and speeding up your site.</li>
</ul>
<p>PS: You’ll be prompted to get an Akismet.com API key to use it, once activated. Keys are free for personal blogs; paid subscriptions are available for businesses and commercial sites.</p>

There are many better ways to handle spam than this garbage. Indeed i with the false positive rate this plugin has it is worse than nothing


Worst antispam plugin


Akismet has been with me since I've been on WordPress and really doesn't miss when compared to other solutions. Keep up the great work!
