Quick question: links in comments body

    I have already removed the website field in my comments form, but all of my spam comments have website links in the body of the message.
    So the only think I need in a comments-spam plugin is to send all comments with URL links to spam.
    Can your plugin do this? I couldn’t find specific reference to this capability.
    Thx!

    Hi @redblockind

    no, this is not possible at the moment. But we have a honeypot with the same outcome.

    As we do not now which fields are used or not used on a website we add our own honeypot, which is providing the same solution like removing the URL field and reject everything with URL field filled. This is rejecting 99% of all spam comments, because these are made by bots which are filling up all fields in a form.

    See this discussion:

    All the best,
    Torsten
