 * Have enabled everything I can see but no captcha appears. Am being plagued by
   fake comments so would like it to work!

 * Sabre is not designed for comments protection against spam but to avoid false
   users to register to your site. Not surprising if it doesn’t work on the comment
   panel !

 * Apologies for the mis-understanding of the nature, I see now! Thanks. I have 
   now ticked the “must register to make comments” box, and lo, there it is :). 
   Have amended the vote.
 * For others as daft as me…the mistake I was making was the by default WordPress
   allows “instant registration with a comment”, which allows automated ‘bots to
   both register a daft/obscene username with a link to some shady website and tops
   off with a bizarre comment.
 * The first step to stop such non-sense is to go to Settings, Discussion and tick“
   Users must be registered and logged in to comment”. This forces manual registration(
   human) and is where Sabre displays.
