Spam Protection Plugin for Your Site

November 4, 2006 – 4:54 pm

SPAMAs Your WordPress powered site grows in size and visitors, you will notice that it may also grow in the amount of “undesired” comments. Generally you will get three types of comments on your blog. Comments entered by “robots” (unless you protect your site), comments entered by a human being that may take advantage of your generosity of giving them “backlinks” to their blogs, and people who actually have read your article and have some thing of value to say (either positive or negative). Just a quick note, do not shy from constructive criticism on your website.

I was so excited when I received the very first comment on my blog only to get disappointed due to the fact that the comment was entered by a robot (or maybe a human “spammer”).

This little Math Comment Spam Protection Plugin that I just installed today, meant to protect you against robots and scripts abusing your system. I am very excited about it since before this kept any and all comments for moderation before publishing them on my website.

What this plug-in does is this, before any one submits a comment to your website, he or she will be asked to sum a number in order to prove they are humans, hence Math Comment Spam Protection Plugin.
