Language-based Comment Spam Condom
This plugin has been developed by BlackMelvyn from this blog SEO Black Hat thanks to a script coded by Tiger from Blog SEO BlackOut: Techniques référencement Google. It compares the language contained in the comment text to the languages that you allow in your admin panel for this blog. There is a minimum confidence index that should be reached for the comment to be considered as valid. Then, if the comment is sorted a valid, it is held for moderation. On the other hand, the plugin counts the number of links contained in the comment, and if there is a suspicion of comment spam, it blocks the comment and adds it to trash. Finally, you get rid of all these automated spam bots that try and spoil your blog with their nasty unuseful comments, you save database space and you save time as you do not have to sort out what is spam and what is not! We recommend that you use this plugin in conjunction with the keywords filter built in WordPress for more efficiency.
Stop Signup Spam
Stop Signup Spam will prevent user registration of anyone trying to sign up with an the email address or IP address that has been reported to Stop Forum Spam. Contrary to what the name implies, Stop Forum Spam can be used with any web service, not just forums. At this time, Stop Signup Spam integrates with: The core WordPress registration form Restrict Content Pro MemberPress Give By installing this plugin, you consent to an API call sent from your WordPress site to Stop Forum Spam after every attempted user registration. The API call includes the user’s email address and IP address. It is a similar concept to Akismet, except instead of checking for blog comment spam, it checks for user signup spam. Unlike Akismet, no API key is required to query Stop Forum Spam’s database. Partly because of this, I decided not to include a settings page in the Stop Signup Spam plugin. Just activate and you are all set. The plugin does not log any user registration info. Any data sent to Stop Forum Spam would fall under their privacy policy. Please note that Stop Forum Spam is a third-party service that I have no affiliation with. I just found it, could not find any existing WordPress plugins that worked with it, and built one myself. It has helped me cut down on signup spam on a free membership site that I run, and I hope it will help you do the same.
