<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>

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

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