• I installed this plugin as I was attacked by spammers in contact form. I never had an issue with spam comments (only contact form).

    After the trial phase ended, I got instantly comment spam (that I didn’t get before installing the plugin).

    Additionally, I am not even sure if it is aligned with the WordPress guidelines to make registration mandatory (to get key) that is then only limited for some days.

    Hello, @blapps

    These are unrelated events.

    Even if you create a new site and prevent it from being indexed by search engines, the bots will still find out about it and will send spam, only it will take longer. As soon as the pages of the site start to get into the search results of Google, Bing, or other search engines, then spam bots will find out about it, the more pages appear in the search, then there will be more spam and the site will be on more spam mailing lists.

    There is no website in the world that has not been attacked by spammers. If your website is in the search results, spammers will definitely see it.

    When you launch a new site with a new domain name, there will be no spam at first, but the older it gets and the more pages it indexes, the higher your site ranks in search, and the more spam there will be.

    This will always be the case, no matter what anti-spam solution you use. Spam is an illegal activity that often has to go to the police to find spammers and we will be happy to help with catching spammers.

    Do you have the IP addresses of these attacks? If you post it here, I will be happy to help you track the owners/hosters of the IP addresses. You can also write to the owner of the IP address to complain about spamming from their client.

    I am sure you will see that none of them belongs to CleanTalk Inc.

    CleanTalk is a plugin of free code that works with the Cloud Anti-Spam Service:
