The **clocker** destroys anyone submitting forms too quickly to be human. 2. The **bouncer** eliminates anyone caught trying to sneak in with form fields only spammers would use. 3. The **planter** silently distributes secret codes to genuine human commenters which are then verified upon submission. 4. The **surgeon** optionally severs your websites ability to receive trackback spam. #### Special Bonus! Not only does SpamLord protect your website, it also enables you to get the last word in. Now you can reply to would-be spammers with options such as: + a curated selection of tastefully sarcastic comments (now in 13 languages covering the regions that produce the most spam) + a false positive so they think it worked (and won't try harder next time) + anything you want using the custom response option == Installation == 1. Upload `spamlord` folder to your `/wp-content/plugins/` directory 2. Activate SpamLord through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress 3. Adjust your SpamLord preferences by visiting the `Settings > SpamLord` screen == Frequently Asked Questions == = I'm worried about false positives, is it possible for SpamLord to flag spam instead of deleting it? = Yes, visit the `Settings > SpamLord` screen and choose `Moderate` as your `Operating Mode`. = Will SpamLord work with my Multisite installation? = Yes, absolutely. Network Activation now allows SpamLord to protect all of your sites at once! = I have started getting Trackback spam again... Help! = Nobody is perfect... With our international update we noticed a small flaw in the way we were blocking pingbacks and trackbacks. For the time being, please visit the `Settings > SpamLord` screen, verify that your `Operating Mode` is set to `Total Annihilation`, and save the operating mode (even if it was set correctly). = Strangely, without the thousands of spam comments I'm feeling a little lonely. How do I uninstall SpamLord? = Just deactivate it as any other Plugin, and life will be back to normal. I would not recommend this. == Screenshots == 1.
