About Kama SpamBlock

Kama Spamblock is a plugin that effectively prevents automatic spam comments without the need for captcha codes. It not only blocks spam comments but also checks pings and trackbacks for authenticity. It is valuable to use even if you have an external comment system like Disqus as it defends against autospam directly to the 'wp-comments-post.php' file.
