Replaces the names of the default comment form fields every 24 hours with random values, giving spambots no chance to adapt to the comment form.

== Description ==

Most anti-comment-spam-plugins focus on user interaction, e.g. captcha or math comment spam protection. Some use JavaScript and/or Sessions and check each comment against common spam phrases. But in most cases you still have to manage some spam. Yawasp focuses on handling comment-spam without these measures. It replaces the names of the comment form fields with random names, protecting your blog from spambots that aim at the default comment field names. Furthermore it adds a blank field, hidden from the user, that needs to be left empty. If a spambot fills this field blindly, the comment will not be saved. In addition, the random field names are changed every 24 hours, giving a spambot no chance to adapt to the comment form. Furhtermore as of Version 2.0 the ip address of spambots will be logged and blocked for 24 hours.
	
Now the user must no longer fill out any additional fields in the comment form, and you can focus on blogging and your readers comments.

Yawasp is a real lightweight. It does not require JavaScript, Cookies or Sessions, but still is very effective.
