 * 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?

 * Hi Vizcano,
 * Yes, WangGuard add honeypot fields, but is blocking too to VPN, Proxies, TOR 
   Network, Splog servers, Splog ISPs, thousand and thaoudant of Splog IPs, domains,
   etc
 * In the Splog world, there is not only bots, are too the called Chinese farms.
   That Chinese farms are real people registering account at many website for some
   dollars.
 * The honeypot don’t work with that people because are real people and they don’t
   see the honeypot fields and they are switching IP every few seconds, so the IP
   block (added by you) don’t work.
 * Kind regards

   plugin called bbPress New Topic Emailer, this is very bad, because i need that
   other plugin, is one of the plugins i must have in my site… could you try to
