I tried blocking one email address and the submission still goes through when I test using the email address.

I blocked few countries that I don’t want my website to be accessed from however, it failed miserably. All the blocked countries could access my website.
Not useful.

Our website stopped working for everyone.
By turning all plugins off and on one by one we found the culprit.
We use this free version plugin, it asks for money with a big message on all pages, covering most of the window, impossible to close. If you click “Close” it takes you to its page.
We closed this message by clicking “Always Hide” and, not immediately, found our site not working with:
“This feature is temporarily banned for security reasons. Please try again to log in.”
After deactivating this plugin everything returned to normal. We do not have time to investigate. Please know.

I’ve tested many captcha plugins and services, but my site has many many spam registrations. After installing this plugin, my spam registrations reduced to zero. Thanks to developers

Stop SPAM did not work!? I mean I spent some time thinking that it might but I still received spammers hitting my site.? The layout is great and simple to use which I liked but when something doesn’t work it just is of no use!? I finally went to the top of the line blockers and had to install a database and upgrade my php data base from 7.4 to 8.0.?? Yea a lot more work to do but it works great and I mean the top of the line blocker works.? Look at the reviews for the best blocker and try it too.? Lots more work to do but in the end, it works.?? However this Stop SPAM needs more work to do as it has nice features but it does not work.??

This yet another big Fail of plugins on WordPress. Why have a feature that is supposed to restrict countries when it does not work. Block USA and all the spammers come from USA, Block Turkey and they keep coming.
This has not decreased any hacker traffic to my website.

I paid for the premium plugin and in less than a month they’re gone. The website is different and redirects to calculator.io They could have at least had the decency to give a heads up they were shutting down. You don’t cut and run like that.

Two Stars for your work so far.
Zero Stars for the current Version, Your Support, your lousy customer database.
The current Version ignores whitlisted IPs, ignores blacklisted mail-domains, a.s.o.
My premium account vanished on your site, when I write to your support I receive ready-made textblocks. I provided my RegKey and you asked if I am a premium user.
Thats not the way to go, sorry

Do not see much effect – much adverts and to complicated…

Canning a response to contact you externally is no way to keep a plugin alive.
Hopefully more people realize this.

It is a very good plugin that stops spam very well.
]]>Rating: 5 stars
My website gets pounded a lot by SPAM in my forms and attempted logins, and Stop Spammers has worked perfectly for the last year. For instance, from my Dashboard, “Stop Spammers has prevented 93423 spammers from registering or leaving comments.” I’d say this plugin is AWESOME!

I do find it funny that a plugin which advertises to “Hide admin notices” advertises on your WP Admin asking for money/donations. Takes up around 245PX of the Dashboard until cleared too!

Upon a recent update, this plugin spams the admin with a notification asking for more money.

I have this installed on several sites and have had various issues with it.
it seems to block a lot of legit form submissions.
When it does block a form submission, I often get the message saying it was blocked but still get the form submission as well.
No way to actually accept the form submission that was blocked… just to add the person’s IP address to an allow list or block them.
This is only useful for blocking spammers, but completely pointless for dealing with false positive as if you didn’t get the submission, that person isn’t going to come back and re-submit the form.

It comes with predefined settings for general uses. And customizable options are also great if advanced users want to prevent spam further.

First, thank you very much! It works great in blocking all spam comments on my website. The developers provide very good support for problems or questions. By fine-tuning the number of false positives could be reduced to almost zero.

I was getting so many Spam Registrations on a membership site that uses MemberMouse.
I’d have to go in everyday and delete so many fake registrations. ReCaptcha didn’t stop it, so many other plugins did nothing. This plugin, from the get-go stopped it dead in it’s tracks. Thank You.

I’m not sure why this didn’t work for me. It locked me out of my website, which was super frustrating and I had to do a backend workaround to regain access that I think would be too advanced for most average users. Meanwhile, I was still receiving emails from wordpress about comments and registrations… that were all spam.
Bryan (author of the plugin) was very awesome and helped me quickly, which is the reason I’m not giving it a 1-star. But as far as what the plugin does, not a fan.

This is the only plugin that managed to block by country upon install. LOVE THIS PLUGIN! Noticed an immediate difference after setup as all the spam suddenly disappeared. Does exactly what it says and frankly, exceeded my expectations.

This plugin is certainly effective at stopping spam account registrations and the plugin creators very quick to respond to support requests and issue updates. By its own admission, it inevitably sometimes blocks genuine user registrations but there are various configuration options for site admins to try to get the right balance. For a site with a fairly low number of registrations, I found it manageable to occasionally need to manually override the blocking of genuine users in return for blocking a lot of spam registrations.

The new release has blocked access to my sites and created a lot of “hotlinked images”
]]>Rating: 5 stars
First I installed Ban Hammer plugin which was absolutely false advertising and did nothing to prevent spam signups. Then I installed Clean Talk plugin and yes that was very good for cleaning up OLD spam emails but not NEW ones. But after doing that, the goal is to prevent NEW / future spam emails from registering, and this plugin so far has verifiably done a great job of that by blocking specific spam emails and TLDs, as I’m seeing old spam emails (that used to get through the supposed filter) now being blocked by this plugin. Perfetto.
Thank you to the plugin creator! Has been a big help for getting rid of this headache which is scummy spammers.

But this plugin messed up WooCommerce checkout on 5 of my sites, resulting in loosing a lot of customers and revenues.

This plugin blocks a lot of customers who can not buy, so I don’t reccomend to install it if you don’t want see your sales go down.

This is the first plugin that blocked spam attacks from Russia and China and they are tough!
They attacked my registration form daily to the point I had to disabled it and I just used social logins like Facebook, Twitter and Gmail, then they started attacking Gmail with fake accounts.
I installed Stop Spammers plugin 3 days ago and so far so good! Not one spam registration email!
Kudos to the developers!

I find it useless…….tried everything in settings etc. on three sites, still doesn’t stop spammers!
]]>Rating: 5 stars
I have tried many spam plugins and none have worked as good as this plugin. It is very easy to setup and has a good amount of options to adjust to your needs. The only thing that is missing is the ability to block link shorteners, see GitHub #158, the dev confirmed he will be adding such feature so it will finish making this spam protecting plugin perfect!
]]>Rating: 4 stars
Great little plug in that does block 95% of the spam, we still get a few false user creations. The slight downside is that it does also block some of our legitimate members at times.
