I say simply because that’s how easy it is to use and set up. Awesome, well that’s just what it is. My site was being battered with rogue orders created by bots, nothing I tried seemed to stop them until I found spam master. The support is fast, really good and friendly. To be 100% efficient you have to give spam master a little time to train itself, but believe me, it’s time well spent to be 100% spam free. And for such a small price, buy the pro version and help support this awesome bit of kit.
Thanks guys

Sadly, the greatest quantity of spam received comes from the developer, begging you to upgrade to the paid version. I installed this plugin on two hobby sites, one moderately busy (but nothing like a commercial site) and one that sees few visitors. Curiously I received two emails on the same day, and repetitively thereafter saying that I needed to upgrade to the paid version owing to my sites being too busy and that protection had been turned off until spam traffic reduces. Yeah right . . .
I turned it off, and received three dubious form submissions in 24 hours on the busier site, none on the other. Hmmmm.Now trying an alternative plugin.

I tried out the free account and then bought the pro version. I installed the Drupal module and have had zero spam or fake accounts registered. I have never had any anti-spam package do that. It is an install-and-forget, which I love. Also, zero conflicts with other modules and zero JS errors. Love it!!!

I’ve tried to use this plugin for several years, but frequently something would go wrong and the author would tell me that there was nothing wrong, until I literally gave them a patch to fix the problem. This happened several times over the years.
More recently, they added a “firewall” feature which degrades performance and increases load on a server (because apparently a firewall should send blocked users a redirect to itself, so you then get 20+ requests to WP for a blocked page, instead of 1 successful request). Furthermore, my clients kept getting many reports from users that the website was inaccessible due to this “firewall”.
After contacting the author, they didn’t want to add anything in the UI to disable it, but they agreed to add a DB setting that would allow me to disable it. Another release a few weeks later, and they removed that option again, and then pretended we never agreed anything and refused to allow this dumb feature to be disabled.
So, after many years, I’ve completely given up on this, it will cause all sorts of problems over time and I can’t recommend it at all anymore. All I wanted was a simple anti-spam plugin that worked without inline JS.
