Worked Brilliant Until WP 6.5.5 Update
This is a great plugin, worked perfectly. But I just updated to 6.5.5, and it immediatly stopped working. Gulshan, could you please update the plugin. thanks

Simply the Best
This is the best ultra-simple (and free) way to stop comment spam, thanks to the method it uses. Alternative effective solutions are more complicated and involve webserver configuration or WAF and CAPTCHA services. Other plugins simply fail to address the root cause of comment spam. This is the one to use.

It really works
Simple and effective solution against comment spam. Gone from 3 spams a day to zero immediately after installing it.

Antibot for WordPress
In Drupal world, Antibot is the module that does the same thing that Gulshan has done in this plugin for WordPress and I must say that this plugin works like a charm! Again, no fuss plugin, set it and forget it and that's why it completely deserves all the 5 stars that it can get. Great stuff Gulshan.
