Barely started creating a site and was already getting spammed with comments. Installed this plugin and since then I am able to focus on other things without worrying about comment spam.

The best plugin I have ever tried. just install the plugin and forget about getting spam comments on your blog. Do give it a try then analyze the result by yourself.

I have been using Akismet on 50+ WP sites since 2014 which requires an API key setup. This year, I replaced Akismet and started using the "Forget Spam Comment" plugin. I am never going back because it's lite, doesn't require an API Key, and also I am seeing Zero False positives whereas a lot of spam comments were bypassed through Akismet earlier. Thanks, Gulshan for providing such an easy setup plugin that reduced the comment moderation time for me by a large number. Kudos to your work!
