 * Hi,
 * I have used previously another plugin for combatting spam which was also no setup
   needed. But their authors started adding security features to the plugin which
   I didn’t need.
 * So when I found WP Armour which is a non-bloated easy to use anti-spam plugin
   I decided to test it for 2 weeks. In those 2 weeks, I didn’t get a single comment
   and I get daily at least one comment from valid users. This means your plugin
   was blocking valid comments and spam comments.
 * It seems the contact form was not affected by this as I was receiving all valid
   emails via contact forms and not a single spam (I use WPForms and captcha method
   too). But I wonder if any potential business leads were also blocked by WP Armour.
 * As soon as I deactivated WP Armour and installed Akismet I started receiving 
   valid comments.
 * Is there any way to see comments WP Armour blocks or adjust its spam detection
   method?

 * In only 2 cases our plugin block the comments or submission. Either it is spam
   bots or javascript for your website is disabled. In today’s scenario its hard
   to believe that any human users will disable javascript while viewing the web.
 * However, pingbacks comments can be blocked or if the users comments from other
   services except your website (Apps or APIs). Can you please make sure the comments
   you get in your website is from pingbacks ? If so we can investigate try fixes
   for this one.
 * Regarding the submission, our Extended version ([https://dineshkarki.com.np/buy-wp-armour-extended](https://dineshkarki.com.np/buy-wp-armour-extended))
   can store all the attempts of submission.
 * Hope we can resolve this together.
 * Thanks

 * Hi,
 * I don’t use pingbacks. I don’t use other services. I use my Astra theme default
   comment option.

   and try to find the cause for it.
