 * Would this plugin block pingbacks as well? I would like to continue to see pingbacks,
   as they alert me when crawlers have republished my content elsewhere.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fpingbacks-16%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hello!
 * It will not block Pingbacks.
    Please note, this plugin has no relation with Pingbacks
   feature.
 * Thanks & Regards,

 * Thank you! I’ll monitor it for a bit, then buy you a VERY LARGE COFFEE!
 * My only feedback so far is that I love the fact there are no settings to tinker
   with. However, I forgot to clear cache after activation and when I tested it 
   by posting a comment I got a **400 bad request** screen. All good after clearing
   cache. So maybe you should put a note alongside the plugin line “Buy me a Coffee”,
   that says: “**You Must Clear Cache after Activation**“.

 * Hello!
 * When you activate plugin, it displays an admin notice
 * ‘… Please clear page cache’.

 * Also, in the

   –
   [Installation](https://wordpress.org/plugins/forget-spam-comment/#installation)
   section – FAQs – and video available in description, I have already mentioned
   about it.
 * I prefer keeping thing minimal as possible as. I would appreciate if you take
   a moment to read the plugin description.
 * So, I assume this should be sufficient for most users. Do you still feel I need
   to do something here to improve the user-experience? I’d be happy to make changes
   if it deems necessary.
 * Thanks for your feedback

 * Hey Gulshan,
    I didn’t get that activation message at all. But you’re right, 
   it’s mentioned in the Installation section. It’s just that idiots like me forget
   and panic. 😀

 * `I didn’t get that activation message at all`
 * Normally, it [appears ](https://i.imgur.com/MRAc66t.mp4)whenever I activate or
   re-activate the plugin.
 * I have pushed a new update that will display ‘If you’re a admin, you should clear
   once the page cache.’ at error 400 page. Also, updated description to keep important
   hints on the top. I hope this help.
 * Thanks & Regards,
    Gulshan
