WP-SpamShield vs my older spam recomendation

About a year ago I created a blog at Wealthy Affiliate Do you need a spam blocker? I highly recommended a specific spam plugin as appose to Wealthy Affiliate's recommended Askimet.

At the time, Wealthy Affiliate used Askimet and it was totally rubbish. Anyone that used it had major issues.

Fast forward, a few months ago I saw that Wealthy Affiliate recommended alternative spam blocker called WP-SpamShield.

Now, I don't know how long this has been recommended by Wealthy Affiliate because I've been out of action here for many months prior to seeing it.

So for those who haven't used WAs new recommendation, I can testify to it's awesomeness and does the job very nicely.

If you're not using WAs recommendation which is the WP-SpamShield, then I suggest that you change yours today - you won't regret it!

I hope you have a truly awesome day...let me know your thoughts...

Thank's for asking this question, Sharon.
Had no idea either, that we could erase SpamShield :)

You and me a like so there could be others too

It was official from Carson, it is recommended to remove spam shield.

Thx for letting me know, I really appreciate it. Is there anything else I should know I've not been on WA for months?

You also do not need Captcha Code any longer.

I never used that anyway but thx

As far as I know. No need any spam protection anymore, because WA have you covered.I disabled my spamshield as WA recommended.

How's your site without a spam plugin?

So far no issue. Unlike before there are lots of conflict between SShield and the other plugins.

Ok cool :)

Sharon if your site is hosted here on the WA platform you need no form of spam shield at all with the new security update

This is cool thx, I didn't know so I'm glad I posted today. I can now eliminate another plugin.

That is always a good thing!
