CommentLuv More Spam Protection and New Features

- by

CommentLuv Spam Protection

Being a member of the CommentLuv Premium family gives you an early access to beta version and new cool features that Andy Bailey -the developer or the plugin- keep rolling out. Aside from the awesome support you get, the plugin -in my opinion- consider a revolutionary addition to the WordPress comment system. I am thrilled to share the new features and update with the world!

Let’s take a look to the new CommentLuv update.

1- The minimum amount of keyups on comment

Spammers often prepare their comment, then visit several blogs at a time and post same comment to all by pasting comment text using CTR + V , that’s 2 keyups, the CommentLuv plugin now indicate how many keyups was made before hitting the submit comment button, if it’s less than a specific number, then it won’t be accepted.

You see, this is different than taking action based on comment length, very smart idea! I actually don’t know how the hell this idea came to Andy’s mind 🙂

It’s my favorite update!

2- Ban search terms

People often try to find blogs to comment on by searching Google, they use keywords like “Dofollow blog” or “CommentLuv Enabled”…etc.

With the new update, you can display a restricting message to spammers or those who just want to get a link from your blog. This can be done it two ways:

  1. Restrict their access once they land on your blog.
  2. Or, restrict their access right after they submit the comment.

So, that’s another way to stop spam on your blog.

3 – Action to take if author has no author URL

Many times spammers sneak into your comment box and try to pass Akismet spam protection by taking away their site link (before hitting the submit comment button). I have many of those people trying to spam my blog, and I am sure you too are suffering of same issue!

Now you can easily take action to deal with those spammers by hiding, delete or mark their comment as a spam.

4 – Remove Twitter Name

Twitter name removal is another cool feature that has been added to CommentLuv premium plugin. It’s something I personally wanted to have as some of commenters put a bad Twitter ID when commenting on the blog, or -by mistake- they put a wrong Twitter ID. Some others abandoned their Twitter account or got banned by Twitter. So, that will lead to a bad or broken link that you really don’t want to have on your blog.

Glad to tell you this been taken care of, and now you can easily remove any unwanted Twitter IDs from the comments.

  7. Abdul Waheed says:
    Being a fellow ComLuv user myself I can totally understand the amount of people who use the ComLuv system to basically build backlinks which is fine but I hate people who spam and use completely irrelevant junk comments to try to build Backlinks. Thanks for the great post.
  8. Pam says:
    This is an awesome update. I love commentluv as it is a great way for me to discover other great blogs and to reward my readers, however, spammers were beginning to make things unpleasant. I simply do not want links to "How to pick up women" on my mom blog!
    • Hesham Zebida says:
      Hi Pam, You are right.. no one wants a link like that on her/his blog!
  9. Rashmi Sinha says:
    Commentluv is a great tool for creating backlinks. It is great that it has spam protection, as many abuse it. Thanks a lot for sharing this!
  10. Joy says:
    What's puzzling me a little, being fairly new to all this, as what happens about completely legitimate users who just want to make comments on my blog, or ask questions, but don't have a website at all? I.e potential customers as opposed to potential competitors. As I mention, I'm still way down on the learning curve, so probably something I've misunderstood.
  11. Divas Chitkara says:
    I've been hearing about the premium version from a long time. Looks like I have to give it a try. Thanks for sharing. :)
  12. jan says:
    More awesome updates - as you say Hesham, how does Andy even think of some of these things? I just have a question and that is why people would want to remove their URL to get around Akisment? I don't get why somebody wouldn't want to leave their URL which surely will be another link? Thanks
    • Hesham Zebida says:
      They take their links away to pass Akismet spam protection!
  13. Jennifer Johnson says:
    I have just installed the plugin and love it...this is even better! I am so sick of spam (as is every serious blogger) that to be able to utilize these added features is just a huge bonus. Anyone who doesn't have premium needs it!
  14. Karan says:
    Let's see how this one goes! *Anticipation* *Excited* to use it.
  15. Corky Swanson says:
    CommentLuv just keeps getting better. Since I'm a premium user, looking forward to seeing it get out of beta. Hmmm, I'm getting a message "Please don't spam our blog." I'm as legitimate as they come. Maybe the new CL needs more beta testing? OK it looks as though the keyup feature may have kicked in.
  16. Tho Huynh says:
    I love the restriction feature. Let these spammers know who's the boss here :D
  17. Jack Sander says:
    Hello Hesham, From my point of view, I consider that this update is great, as the CommentLuv team improves an already successful service and comes with new great features. I just hope it will be capable of selecting the spam comments from the genuine comments. Jack Sander
  18. Blazing Minds says:
    I'm really looking forward to the new version coming out of Beta mode, I've been using CommentLuv since the early days and have never looked back, in my point of view it's how the WordPress comment system should be ;)
  19. Samuel says:
    Awesome new features, AND they've got a coupon for $10 off? I think I hear a stampede coming on.
  20. Michelle says:
    I'm a relatively new blogger and I've just moved to a self hosted blog. The the first thing I did was to install CommentLuv (the free version). After reading your post, I might look at the premium - sounds good! Thanks for this post :-)
    • Hesham Zebida says:
      Hi Michelle , It's a good idea to start with the CommentLuv free version, at least you get to know the plugin, then decide whither to get premium or stick with the free one! Glad you've made it to our blog :) and wish you good luck with your blogging journey!
  21. Raaj Trambadia says:
    I agree with you on this Mitz! Andy is really kind to give these awesome updates for free! I mean, any blogger would actually love to pay for that! PS Hesham! I can't see my CommentLuv link! :D Am I in the Black List of your blog or what? Hahah! PS2 I again got the 'Please Don't Spam Our Blog Message"! Hahah! This is getting more and more secured now! PS3 Again! OMG! What's happening?
  22. Aasma says:
    These are some really essential updates to reduce spam, especially the first one as spammers just paste their comment without reading any line of your blog post. This feature certainly going to reduce huge amount of spam on your blog.
  23. Mitz Pantic says:
    I cannot live a minute without my commentluv plugin and it was one of the first plugins to be installed when I moved my site recently. Andy has done a fantastic job with this plugin and it just keeps getting better. I can't believe he did not make this a recurring payment as I would pay for this service over and over.
    • Hesham Zebida says:
      I agree Mitz, this effort worth a lot more money!
  24. Trung Nguyen says:

  25. Raaj Trambadia says:
    Hey Hesham! These are some really great updates to the plugin! The KeyUps update is the best one! I can see how you love it! And so do I :) Andy is the man for Wordpress! He surely knows what every blogger is looking for! Cheers PS You might see the KeyUps from this comment because I don't know why, I'm being said "Please don't spam our blog" ..!! Hahah! Isn't that too much protection Hesham?
    • Hesham Zebida says:
      Haha.. Not bad for my test :)
  26. Kevin Martineau says:
