== Description ==

With the release of WordPress 2.8 development of Yawasp is discontinued!!!

For further protection against automated Spambots please checkout the successor of Yawasp (NoSpamNX) or any other Anitspam Plugin!

== Installation ==

1. Backup your comments.php located in your template path (e.g. wp-content/themes/THEME)
2. Unzip Plugin
2. Copy complete yawasp-folder to wp-content/plugins
4. Activate plugin
5. Go to settings -> Yawasp in you WP-Admin
6. Try to automaticly change your comments.php
7. If 6. does not work, change your comments.php manualy by following the instructions on the Yawasp Homepage:

* [Yawasp Homepage English](http://www.svenkubiak.de/yawasp-en/)
* [Yawasp Homepage Deutsch](http://www.svenkubiak.de/yawasp/)

Done!

Note: You might want to remove (automatic or manual) the changes in comments.php after deactivation, but comments will work even
if you dont and Yawasp is deactivated.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= What is the difference to other anti-comment-spam plugins ? =

Comment Spam is blocked within the plugin. You don't see it and you don't have to moderate it.

= Does the plugin block Ping-/Trackback Spam as well ? =

No, the plugin focuses on Spambot-comment-spam only.

= What about false-positives ? =

Due to the core functionality of Yawasp false-postives are nearly impossible. There might be problems when using Cache-Plugins, but none have ever been reported. If you are uncertain, try puting catched Spambots in moderation queue or mark as Spam (Akismet or similar required). 

= Real-Users are reporting they recieve the message "Sorry, it seems you are a Spambot" ? =

Check you comments.php. This is very likely because your comments.php has not been setup correctly.

= I am in moderation mode and the counter is increasing but not comments are in the moderation queue ? =

As Yawasp is checking every comment before WordPress handles it, it is possible, that Yawasp catches a Spambot, counts is, but the WordPress comment handling does not accept the comment (e.g. missing Author). As a result, you have catched a spambot, but no comment.
