Whether you have hundreds of shortlink spam comments or want ongoing protection, this plugin has you covered.<\/p>\n<p>It works <em>alongside<\/em> Akismet and other spam filters, not instead of them.<\/p>\n<h4>\u2728 What you can do<\/h4>\n<p><strong>\ud83d\udd0d Pattern Scanner<\/strong><br \/>\nType a URL fragment (e.g. <code>shorturl.fm<\/code>) into the scanner, click <strong>Check Count<\/strong> to see exactly how many comments match, then choose your action: mark as spam, move to trash, or delete permanently.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u23f1 Scheduled Auto-Cleanup<\/strong><br \/>\nSet a WP-Cron job to run hourly, twice daily, daily, or weekly. Configure your patterns and action once \u2014 the plugin keeps your comment section clean automatically.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\ud83e\udd16 Honeypot Bot Protection<\/strong><br \/>\nAn invisible form field is added to your comment form. Real visitors never see or fill it. Bots that automatically fill every form field get rejected with a 403 error \u2014 silently, without affecting real users who never see or fill the field.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\ud83d\udcca Comment Quality Scoring<\/strong><br \/>\nEvery new comment is automatically scored based on:<br \/>\n&#8211; Number of external links (+2 per link)<br \/>\n&#8211; Shortlink in author URL (+4 points)<br \/>\n&#8211; Very short text under 15 characters (+2 points)<br \/>\n&#8211; High symbol\/punctuation density (+3 points)<br \/>\n&#8211; Known spam keywords like &#8220;casino&#8221; or &#8220;viagra&#8221; (+3 points)<br \/>\n&#8211; Excessive ALL-CAPS usage (+2 points)<\/p>\n<p>If the score exceeds your threshold, the comment is held for review or marked as spam automatically.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\ud83d\udee1 WordPress Blocklist Integration<\/strong><br \/>\nAdd URL patterns directly to WordPress&#8217;s native disallowed_keys list \u2014 new comments containing those patterns are caught before they even reach the scanner.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\ud83d\udccb Spam Domain Analysis<\/strong><br \/>\nAutomatically scans your existing spam and trash comments to surface the most common offending domains, so you always know what to block next.<\/p>\n<h4>\ud83c\udfaf Who is this for?<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Site owners who suddenly find hundreds of shortlink spam comments (you know who you are)<\/li>\n<li>Bloggers who want passive spam protection without a heavy third-party service<\/li>\n<li>Developers managing multiple WordPress sites who need efficient bulk moderation<\/li>\n<li>Anyone frustrated by shortlinks like <code>bit.ly<\/code>, <code>shorturl.fm<\/code>, <code>cutt.ly<\/code> in their comments<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>\u2753 Why not just use Akismet?<\/h4>\n<p>Akismet is great for real-time filtering \u2014 but it doesn&#8217;t help you <em>clean up<\/em> existing spam, and it doesn&#8217;t support pattern-based bulk actions. AOS Comment Spam Cleanup fills that gap. Use both.<\/p>\n<h4>\ud83d\udd12 Privacy<\/h4>\n<p>This plugin does not collect, transmit or store any personal data on external servers.
