Hi @gevcen
it will be deleted and not saved. See the documentation:
In the inactive state, Antispam Bee deletes any spam attempt without saving it in WordPress.
https://antispambee.pluginkollektiv.org/documentation/
It is highly recommended to check “mark as spam and not delete”, because just then you can use local spam to detect new comments as spam (aka Local spam DB).
You can set ASB to not send notifications, delete comments after some time, etc.
Hope this helps!
All the best

Hello,
can you confirm that we should keep all the spam comments in the spam section of wordpress comments ? and never delete them ? Even the ones that I mark as spam manually ?
Thank you for your confirmation.
Hi @catdec
no you should not keep all the spam comments. This would take too much space if you have a high traffic blog with many spam comments.
My recommendation would be to mark as spam, not delete the comments and then delete the comments after some days. How many days belongs to the amount of spam you get. Sometimes it should be 3 days, sometimes 90 is sufficient.
Most spam come in waves, so this local spam is helpful to detect spam which was already detected or manually marked as spam.
All the best,
Torsten
