Thread: Akismet SPAM filtering instead of Captcha

  1. #1

    Akismet SPAM filtering instead of Captcha

    I would suggest creating a Akismet plugin as a replacement for the Captcha's

    The advantages:

    - users don't need to type a captcha
    - so for users with less tech skills, it is much easier for them to fill out a contact form for instance
    - spam is still kept out

    see: www.akismet.com

    implementing is quite easy, for instance see: https://github.com/achingbrain/php5-akismet

    Hi Robert,

    basically, it is a good idea.
    But furthermore Askimet is also not safe as claimed and it costs money.
    I would rather suggest there another way.

    Ghost Captcha from Codecanyon -> it works geat! Here the link -> LINK.
    In GhostCaptcha user need also not enter code only if certain conditions arrive.
    It costs only a small money and its a great tool.

    Best regards
    Steffen
