AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Throws SPAM Away is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Spam category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 6 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How Throws SPAM Away works
This plugin was developed as a way to combat comment spam (especially from abroad). Currently, it judges spam using the following filters:
Japanese Character Check: If comment does not contain Japanese characters (Hiragana, Katakana, Kanji), it is blocked.
Instead of displaying an error page, it silently discards the comment and returns to the post as if nothing happened.
[Can be turned ON/OFF in settings]
NG Keywords Check: You can set multiple NG keywords (comma-separated).
If a post contains these keywords, it is similarly discarded.
Link Count Check: Blocks comments that contain more link URLs (containing ‘http’) than the allowed limit (default is 3).
Honey Pot / Dummy Fields Check: Generates dummy input fields hidden from real users to catch spam bots.
[Can be turned ON/OFF in settings]
IP Address Check: Processes posts from specified IP addresses as spam.
