- Stop Comment Spam Without Captchas in WordPress
From the lesson
“Every website with an open comment box eventually attracts spam — junk messages posted automatically by software, not by people. Automated programs, often called bots, roam the internet looking for any comment form they can post to. You don't need traffic or fame. Even a brand-new blog sees its first spam within days. The messages are usually advertising, scam links, or nonsense meant to clutter your site.” Watch the full lesson →

First, the checks that catch the most spam stay switched on.” Watch the full lesson →

From the lesson
“Every blog gets spam. WordPress and Antispam Bee do the sorting for you, so your only job is a quick daily glance at the Comments screen. And good to know: Antispam Bee needs no account, and it shares no reader data with anyone. Pending comments are waiting for your approval — nobody sees them until you say so. Approved comments come from readers you've already welcomed.” Watch the full lesson →
