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.
