<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin relies on external services to provide spam detection and geolocation features. Below is detailed information about each service:</p>
<h4>SpamBanana API (api.spambanana.com)</h4>
<p><strong>What it does:</strong> Analyzes comments using Machine Learning (Logistic Regression + TF-IDF) to detect spam.</p>
<p><strong>When data is sent:</strong> Every time a comment is submitted on your WordPress site (unless the user is logged in and you’ve disabled checking for logged-in users).</p>
<p><strong>What data is sent:</strong><br />
* Comment content (text)<br />
* Comment author name<br />
* Comment author email<br />
* Comment author IP address<br />
* Comment author website URL (if provided)<br />
* User agent string</p>
<p><strong>Why it’s needed:</strong> WordPress servers have limited resources. By processing spam detection on our dedicated ML servers, we:<br />
* Reduce load on your WordPress server<br />
* Provide faster spam detection<br />
* Use advanced Machine Learning models that would be too resource-intensive to run locally<br />
* Continuously improve accuracy through centralized learning from millions of comments<br />
* Reduce AI costs for users by sharing infrastructure</p>
<p><strong>Data retention:</strong> Comment data is stored temporarily for analysis and learning. Spam detection results are kept to improve the ML model accuracy over time.</p>
<p><strong>Privacy & Terms:</strong><br />
* Service Terms: https://spambanana.com/terms<br />
* Privacy Policy: https://spambanana.com/privacy<br />

<h4>IP-API.com (ip-api.com)</h4>
<p><strong>What it does:</strong> Provides geolocation data (country) based on IP addresses for the GeoIP blocking feature.</p>
<p><strong>When data is sent:</strong> Only when GeoIP blocking is enabled in settings, and only for new IP addresses not in cache (cached for 7 days).</p>
<p><strong>What data is sent:</strong><br />
* Visitor’s IP address only</p>
<p><strong>Why it’s needed:</strong> To identify the country of origin for comments, allowing you to block spam from specific countries if desired.</p>
<p><strong>Privacy & Terms:</strong><br />
* Service website: http://ip-api.com<br />
* Terms of Service: https://ip-api.com/docs/legal<br />
* This is a free service with rate limiting (45 requests per minute)</p>
<h3>Privacy Policy</h3>
<p><strong>User Data Protection:</strong><br />
* All data transmission uses secure HTTPS connections<br />

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.
