  • Excellent plugin!!!

    Lately, I am getting a lot of spam comments on my blog and deleting them manually is an arduous task. Once, in place of deleting spam comments, I, by mistake, deleted legit, useful comments. So, I installed this plugin, and this is working flawlessly. Not having website field in the comment section would be a great discouragement to the spammers.

  • I Love This Addon!!!

    This should seriously be a built option, but the plugin saves you from literally SO much spam. Thank you so much creators!

  • Huge ad on every admin page (fixed)

    Latest update just put a huge ad on every single admin page, and it's impossible to turn it off. Absolutely pathetic. Edit: The developer fixed the issue, but I've already removed this plugin and implemented the same features manually into functions.php - it's easy, google it.
