BotBlocker

Since the vast majority of WordPress spam is automated in nature, the goal of BotBlocker is to block comment spam bots and not hinder users. This is accomplished through the use of honeypot technology, which tricks the spambot into identifying itself by performing actions that a human could not.

BotBlocker’s features include:

1. 01Works out of the box to block spam
2. 02Automatically stops spam-bots from commenting
3. 03Zero hindrance to users: no CAPTCHAS, math questions, passwords or extra input required
4. 04Zero false positives and ignores registered users
5. 05Can be configured to completely block spam-bots or flag comments as spam
6. 06Spam detection messages can be easily adjusted
7. 07No javascript or cookies required
8. 08Hooks into wp-comments-post.php to prevent spam-bots from directly submitting spam comments
9. 09Should work fine with most customized comment forms
10. 10No API keys required
