Stop comment spam without a captcha
Two hidden fields catch spam bots. Real visitors see nothing, type nothing and load no extra script.
Open Comment spam
Go to SEO, Clean-up, Comment spam. Caught so far shows how many bot comments were stopped, and why.

Choose what happens to a caught comment
Choose Goes to the spam folder (you can still rescue it) or Refused outright, then Save changes.

Set how fast a person can write
Fewest seconds a person needs to write a comment: anything sent faster is treated as a bot. Three seconds suits most sites.
