FormSpammerTrap For Comments adds form spam bot blocking to your comment form, and the comment processing code. We catch comment spam before it gets to your database. It senses human interaction with the comment form. It does not require those irritating captchas, hidden fields, silly questions, CSS tricks, or other annoying things others use to try to (but fail to) block spam-bots.
The FormSpammerTrap for Comments plugin provides several options to change the text of various parts of the comment form, such as the title of the comment form, the submit button, and more. You can also set the text used for the Reply link, and even include the name of the commenter in that Reply link.
If a spam-bot tries to submit a comment, even when they bypass your comment form with non-browser tricks (think CURL), they will be sent to our FormSpammerTrap page, and you will not see the spam-bot comment on your system. (Although that makes it harder to know that FormSpammerTrap is working.)
The plugin catches comment spam before it gets into your database, so other plugins (like Akismet) don’t have to spend time checking each comment. And you don’t have to keep on cleaning out spam comments from your database on the administrative Comment screen.

You will find more information at our FormSpammerTrap web site. We also have solutions for WordPress contact forms and custom-built sites. You can contact us with any questions or issues on that site.
