I loved this plug-in, but it seems to have stopped working on my site. Getting a ton of spam comments, many in Russian and most containing several links.
I moderate all comments, so it’s more of a hassle, but I’m getting 20-30 new spam comments a day.
I’ve included a link to one of the blog entries that gets spam comments, but it happens on any of the blog posts.
]]>Would like an option to inject a captcha on the login form
Also a captcha on the comments form
I personally like the “I am human” recaptcha which can just be clicked…
Something like this plugin, but in the simple and clean blobfolio style ??

What do you think?
]]>Hi Blobfolio,
I’m getting another set of bizarre seriously long gibberish spam of this (below) ilk managing to squeeze through SESB . .

It seems to repeat sections of the same gibberish and each is about 29,000 characters long per comment, 2900 words.
The only thing I can think of is if you could you count up ( and ) and | characters and delete any comment with more than 50 instances of these? That would kill this garbage?
]]>Great plugin – it reduces my spam 95%
Just to let you know that I’ve recently noticed that the more than 5 links ‘link’ filtering is letting some comments with 5+ links though. They are either in a comment with ‘oriental’ language or are bound in [url][/url}
as in: [url=https://www.test.com/some spam link[/url]
]]>Thanks for a great plugin, I’ve just used it for a week and it’s dropped my spam to about 2% of what it was.
Would it be possible to add a links counter and have comments immediately discarded if that contained more than ‘X’ links ‘sometime’.
I rarely get links in my comments and never more than 3. So, a link counter set to nuke a comment with 5 or more links would kill all the rest of the spam still getting through.
Way more complicated would be a ‘comment language not being the same as the Blog language’ checker, that too would kill a lot of spam comments that don’t relate to the content. I’ve noticed some WP plugins do a language check for comments BUT they just dump the failures into the moderation queue. I’d rather have them nuked entirely.
]]>This plugin would be even more awesome if it could apply to registration forms too!
]]>Sock’Em SPAMbots is currently in BETA. It seems to do what it is supposed to on our servers, but in the wild it may behave… wildly!
Please let us know if you experience any issues!
Thanks!
