Great Little Plugin
I've used this for quite a few years now. Every now and again I get a msg from WP about it not working correctly, but then I don't hear any more for ages. There seems to be one particular set of circumstances that trip it up, intermittently. I'll contact the author, but despite that, it's 5 stars. The reason is the simple interface, all options there and its small code footprint, plus, it catches all spam.... An almost perfect little plugin.I hope the author keeps it maintained as I see they do work on several other plugins.

Very Effective Kills Almost All Spam
This plugin is really a spammer's worse nightmare. Since installing it, my spam has been virtually eliminated. I use this along with another plugin called “User Verification” and both together help me accomplish my goal of ZERO spam on my blog. Thank you to the author for your great contribution. Please keep up the good work. Donating soon.

Лучший среди бесплатных!
Браво! Стоило поставить его и все, все проблемы со спамом, регой ботов и хреновыми спам комментариями пропали. Пока что лучший на моей памяти плагин. Даже лучше платного Cleantalk, во всяком случае различает реального спамера от нормального пользователя. Благодарю, разрабам респект! Thank you!

Made no difference to the spam
Got dozens of registrations after installing and activating all options. It made no difference what options were set. Uninstalled.
