Works as expected
by Seravo.com·5 years ago
Crude and simple, but works as it should.
Works, doesn't break anything, friggin' awesome!
by Jon Hardison·11 years ago
Thank you! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!
Been running AKISMET for years and while I have a very low number of uncaught SPAMs across all the sites we manage, the volume of comments many of our sites are process was ridiculous! I mean in the 200 – 4000 per day range.
The nice thing about this is that it made seeing what plugins worked (and which didn’t) really easy. Install, activate, wait 5 minutes for a pass or fail.
Of all the ones I tested, yours was the only one that actually worked and I couldn’t be happier. Sure, one or two still make it through, but when you’re talking about the difference between 15 total SPAMs an hour across 50 sites and 25K… It’s like I got a free server for using your plug-in.
Just wanted to say thanx! 🙂
