Wellenbrecher — WordPress Anti-Spam Plugin

Wellenbrecher at a glance

Is Wellenbrecher well maintained?

• An explainable score with three zones. Every rule can be switched off or reweighted, and the breakdown is shown for each decision
• Observation mode for the first seven days: everything is recorded, nothing is blocked, so you see what would have happened before you arm it
• A log with a release button, so a false positive costs one click instead of a customer
• A learning filter trained by your own moderation, entirely on your server
• Quarantine for form submissions: the log keeps the submitted values and releases them per row
• Comment quarantine in the native WordPress spam folder, with a column that shows the score
• A dashboard widget with the last 14 days, the totals for 7 and 30 days and a breakdown per channel
• Statistics and a CSV export of the log for your own records
• Move-in help: reads what a previously installed anti-spam plugin had configured, shows what maps across, and imports it on your confirmation. Nothing is…
• Your own keyword list, and the option to remove the XML-RPC methods for comments and pingbacks
• Invisible to visitors. No captcha, no puzzle, no cookie
• Fail-open by design: if the plugin hits an internal error, the submission passes through to normal moderation instead of vanishing
