 * this is my doubt i have read about honepot traps to bots that will stop them 
   from registering in the website and it blocks them right away.. so my members
   will be real people and not bots… does this plugin do this?
 * one plugin i tried said this…
    “The plugin will install a “Red Herring” comment
   form that will be invisible to normal users. Spammers will find this form and
   try to do their dirty deed using it. This results in the IP address being added
   to the deny list”
 * but that plugin is not compatible with my theme… but i really need that kind 
   of protection…
 * does your plugin does this?
