Block comments from specific countries
Antispam Bee is able to identify the country of origin of a comment by the IP address used. Based on this characteristic, remote comments and trackbacks from fixed countries can be prevented (e.g. from Asia) or explicitly released (e.g. only European countries). The country filter is located just before the end of the long test routine, so it is treated with a low priority. If, therefore, a comment were to persists all protective measures, then at the end, this filter decides whether the element should pass as a valid comment or not. The function is a further, manually adjustable test method of the Antispam plugin. When the option is activated, two additional fields appear, which are the basis for the filter: Blacklist & Whitelist. Either or: Only one of the lists can be filled, a combination of both data sets is not possible. If the plugin option “not check trackbacks / pingbacks” is active in the MORE column, then trackbacks are excluded from the country check. In the blacklist, double-digit country codes are to be specified in ISO format separated by a comma. Comments from these countries are blocked by the plugin, other countries are released. Example: CN, US – prevents all comments from China and the USA, the rest of the world has free (commentary) entry. The Whitelist maintains country codes that have an exclusive permission to comment. Only Readers from these countries may leave comments and pings. Entries from the rest of the region are automatically classified as spam and treated. Example: DE, AT, CH as a value allowes Germany, Austria and Switzerland as commentator the only countries. The rest dies.
Data protection: To determine the geographical position of the user, Antispam Bee sends an anonymised (this means shortend) IP-Address to the online service IP2Country. Other data of the commentator is not send. This settings is optional and not part of the default settings.
Implementation: Antispam Bee 1.7
Allow comments only in certain language
Most spam attracts attention from its “unsuitable” language: English comments written in a German-language blog are usually unwanted advertising messages – depending on the target group of the blog there are certainly exceptions. This criterion uses Antispam Bee for spam detection and combat. After activating this option and choosing the desired language, the WordPress plugin ensures that comments are allowed only in selected language. Comments in other language variations are permanently classified as spam.
Data protection: To detect the language, Antispam Bee is using franc. It sends the comment to the service via HTTPS. Other data about the commentator (like IP or email address) are not send. This setting is optional and not part of the default setting.
Restriction: Only for comments
Implementation: Antispam Bee 2.0
