Wow. This is a real lifesaver. I get alerts from WordPress whenever a comment is added, and the alerts for spam comments were killing me. This plugin saves me time. Thanks.
Thank you for this fork and maintenance. It was my go-to comment anti-spam plugin in its previous iteration. Great straightforward light plugin that just works. I missed its minimalism. Lovely to have it back!
I had stopped updating the other plugin at version 5.5 due to the changes to it. Since I’ve found and installed this, it has blocked 75 comments. It’s something so simple to use but effective.
