I re-instated comments a few days later (nine months ago) and didn’t have any more problems with spam. I presumed that there had been some update or something? I did install WP-SpamFree as suggested by Mike alongside SI Captcha, so not sure whether that has also helped.
It could be that they have just stopped bothering with me!
Thanks Mike. I was a bit worried, as it seemed to happen so quickly and with so many comments at once. I haven’t had a single spam comment since installing the plugin.
I don’t have any other security plugins installed, the only plugins I have are EXEC-PHP, TinyMCE Advanced, PageLists Plus and Fast Secure Contact form. Oddly, even though it appears to use the same captcha, I am not getting any spam via the contact form plugin.
I’ve just turned off comments for now. Hopefully they’ll go away.
Exactly the same problem with me too, same kind of comments. There is always one or two sentences with one word seemingly purposely misspelt, and they all link to Bing, Google, Facebook or similar websites.
I haven’t had any spam comments for months since using si-captcha, then today I have 15 so far, all the same kind of comments. I have the difficulty settings set to high, but it hasn’t made any difference.
