Effective for Very Active Sites

Akismet is great but it does not stop serious spammers who want to get on your site. Use to use Wp Spam Shield from Red Sand Media but I think they have stop updating and it has been removed from Code Canyon. This is the best stop spam plugin if you have a busy site where it has user generated content. Kudos to the producer, I have made a donation. I have been using the plugin for three months now and have started using it on all my sites. Yes, it does block out genuine users sometimes, but they get a chance to register with the allow requests. I guess it is a small price to pay if you don’t want 100 spam users every morning.
