Detail

Nobody likes comment spam, and this plugin pack makes sure that you and your users on a WordPress Multisite installation don’t have to put up with it. It contains four plugins, all modified to work with WordPress Multisite, and deals with comment and trackback spam.

Comment spam plugin

Simple Trackback Validation provides a simple check which will get rid of a very, very high % of trackback spam. The Simple Spam Filter allows you to put a straightforward limit on the number of links allowed in comments – a great way to swiftly eliminate the vast majority of comment spam. AVH First Defense Against Spam blocks spammers before any content is served by identifying them at the Project Honey Pot, a local blacklist or the local IP cache. It also checks, at stopforumspam.com, visitors trying to post a comment.   And last, but certainly not least, Peter’s Custom Anti Spam Image Plugin provides a CAPTCHA solution that really works! (and all you have to do is edit the file to replace it with your own fun words) Each of these plugins has been modified to work, out of the box, in your mu-plugins folder and each is running and stopping comment spam on Edublogs.org too! And of course, these versions are fully supported and covered by our upgrade and support guarantee – so you can have peace of mind, as well as safety from comment spammers on your Multisite setup.
