Description

The OOPSpam WordPress plugin is a modern spam filter that uses machine learning to analyze messages, checking each submission against our extensive database of 500 million IPs and emails to effectively detect and block spam.

It uses the OOPSpam API, which protects over 3.5M websites daily.

Features:

  • Spam Filtering Sensitivity: Customize the “sensitivity level” to ensure important messages aren’t missed.
  • Machine Learning Spam Detection: Messages are analyzed using advanced machine learning models.
  • Country Restrictions: Block or allow submissions based on geographic location.
  • Language Restrictions: Restrict submissions based on language.
  • Blacklist Integration: Automatically checks messages against multiple IP and email blacklists.
  • Spam Word Detection: Identifies and blocks messages containing common spam patterns.
  • Manual Moderation: Block email, IP, or specific keywords manually.
  • Privacy Features:
    • Do not analyze IP addresses
    • Do not analyze Emails
    • Remove sensitive information from messages
  • Form Spam Entries Management: View, delete, send submissions to website admins, or report them.
  • Form Ham Entries Management: View non-spam entries, delete, or report them.
  • Rate Limiting: Control submission rates to prevent abuse and click frauds.

The value we bring:

  • Fast, Lightweight & Accessible
  • No cookies, no challenges, no JavaScript, no tracking.
  • High accuracy (%99.9)
  • Use one API key across unlimited websites.
  • No data stored on our servers. All your data is stored in your local WordPress database.

This add-on has already eliminated hundreds of spam submissions, and seems to learn as it goes. Also, the dev team is responsive, and open to suggestions on how to help with spam pain-points. Thanks.
