This plugin attempts to stop spam from the standard WordPress comment field and custom Contact 7 form submissions.

It does not send any data to an external service to determine if submitted content is spam. No cookies or other personal user information are captured or stored.

Comments

In most cases, no configuration should be necessary when using this plugin to protect against comment spam. Most WordPress themes will use WordPress core to output comment fields and most of the time the proper hook (comment_form_top) will be fired so that the fields from this plugin are added.

Contact Form 7

To use this plugin with Contact Form 7, add [ssss] to any contact form to add spam checking by this plugin to the form.

Caveats

JavaScript is required for this to work.

Attempts to prevent automated SPAM by requiring visitors to answer a question of your choosing in order for their comment to be accepted. Presumably, spambots will be unable to correctly answer this question and so comments they attempt to post will be rejected.

Only regular comments from non-logged-in users are filtered. Pingbacks, trackbacks and authenticated users will not be prompted to answer the verification question.

Privacy Note: This plugin does not call home or communicate with any external servers or services. All processing is done locally within your WordPress site.

The whole idea to this plugin is to keep spammer robots from posting on your blog, reducing the space taken by spam messages in the database, and preventing your blog from being a spam magnet.

You can ask anything, keep it simple and obvious, e.g. Is the sky Green? NO!. Doing this will stop stupid bots from being able to post.

It only shows up when you are logged out, so you dont have to fill it in if your an admin. On top of this, it also adds javascript validation to the form to ensure the required fields are filled in.

You can configure the plugin in Admin > Tools > Spam Stopper after installing it.
