Reply To: Comment Spam – block comment spam

Thanks for that – yup, I’d read your detailed info here (http://forum.ait-pro.com/forums/topic/block-referer-spammers-semalt-kambasoft-ranksonic-buttons-for-website/ ) and will be monitoring all comments, but just wanted clarification for a couple of things.

Initially I’d prefer to try to not use a CAPTCHA code for our members comments as it’s a social forum using BuddyPress. So my questions are:

1. If it’s a paid members only site, is auto comment spam or human comment spam still a problem?
2. Is it beneficial adding in the anti auto comment spam WP code above?
3. If it is, where in the Custom Code should I add the WP code above to help block auto spamming?

And as you recommend, I’ll add in repeat offender’s key words to the WP blacklist! Easy to forget the obvious way to do things, when you’re focused on other things.

Many thanks for your advice and help.
