How API stops spam?

  • Spam bots signatures.
  • Blacklists checks by Email, IP, web-sites domain names.
  • JavaScript availability.
  • Comment submit time.
  • Relevance test for the comment.

How API works?

API sends a comment's text and several previous approved comments to the servers. Servers evaluates the relevance of the comment's text on the topic, tests on spam and finaly provides a solution - to publish or put on manual moderation of comments. If a comment is placed on manual moderation, the plugin adds to the text of a comment explaining the reason for the ban server publishing.
