## Descrizione

DamaSoft Antispam gives every incoming comment a suspicion score, built from several
independent signals. Only the total decides what happens. Everything runs on your
own server: no comment data is ever sent anywhere.

#### Four layers of defence

**Form checks** stop automated bots, which are the vast majority of spam. An invisible
honeypot field that people cannot see but bots fill in, a token only a real browser
can produce, a minimum writing time, keyboard or mouse interaction, and a referer
check. All of them are designed to work with page caching, and none of them shows
a CAPTCHA or asks the visitor for an extra click.

**Content heuristics** catch spam written by hand: number of links, link BBCode,
URLs in the author name, disposable email domains, high risk domain extensions, 
scripts foreign to the site language, text in capital letters, user agents from 
automated scripts, text identical to spam already blocked, and a rate limit per 
IP address.

**A self-learning filter** improves over time on your own site. Every time you mark
a comment as spam or approve one, it updates its statistics on words, domains, email
addresses and IP ranges. It also learns from comments that WordPress or another 
plugin files as spam. Legitimate examples are weighted twice as heavily as spam 
ones, because losing a real review is worse than letting one spam comment through.

**Trust signals** lower the score instead of raising it: a registered user, an author
with an already approved comment, and, specific to WooCommerce, a verified purchase
of the product being reviewed.

#### What happens to a comment

Below the moderation threshold the comment goes through as usual. Above it, it is
held for moderation. Above the spam threshold the chosen action applies: mark as
spam, hold for moderation, or reject without saving. An optional hard block rejects
extreme cases before they are ever written to the database.

#### Observation mode

Before letting the plugin block anything, you can run it in observation mode: it
analyses every comment and records in the log what it would have done, including
clean comments and their scores, without blocking a thing. It is the safe way to
tune the thresholds on real traffic.

#### What you get in the admin

A dashboard with live counters, a 14 day chart, the most recurring reasons, the 
most active sources and the state of the learning filter. A tab listing blocked 
spam, post comments and product reviews together, which WordPress on its own does
not do, where you can restore, delete or empty everything. A full decision log with
score and reasons, plus a log of the operations performed on the plugin. A system
status page with environment details and a copy and paste summary for support. And
a dashboard widget.

#### Privacy

No data leaves your server. The plugin makes no external HTTP requests of any kind.
The log stores the name, email and IP address of suspicious comments only, for a
configurable period, after which they are deleted automatically. The plugin integrates
with the WordPress Privacy tools: it suggests text for your privacy policy and answers
personal data export and erasure requests.

#### Languages

The plugin is fully internationalized. Translations are delivered through the WordPress.
org language-pack system, so the installable package does not bundle `.po` or `.
mo` files.

## Installazione

 1. Upload the plugin through Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, or copy the folder
    to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate the plugin.
 3. Open DamaSoft Antispam in the admin menu.

On activation the plugin creates its own tables, starts in safe observation mode
and schedules a first pass over the comments already in your database, so it does
not start from scratch if you already have a history. Review the recorded scores,
then enable active protection from the dashboard when you are ready.

## FAQ

### Does it work with page caching?

Yes. The values that change over time are written by JavaScript, not printed in 
the HTML, so the page itself stays cacheable.

### Does it protect WooCommerce product reviews?

Yes. Reviews are WordPress comments and are analysed like the others, with one addition:
whoever actually bought the product gets a large discount on the suspicion score.
WooCommerce order notes are excluded, since they are internal shop notes rather 
than visitor content.

### Does it work on a site without WooCommerce?

Yes. Every WooCommerce related feature is guarded by an existence check. On a site
without it, the plugin simply works on post comments.

### Are blocked comments recoverable?

With the default action they are marked as spam, which means they are not published
and do not ask for your attention, but they stay recoverable from the Blocked spam
tab for as long as WordPress keeps them. Comments rejected by the hard block are
never written to the database, so only a row in the log remains.

### Does the plugin send anything to an external service?

No. There are no external requests. Everything, including the learning filter, runs
on your own server.

### My theme uses a custom comment form and the protection fields do not appear.

The fields are printed on the `comment_form` hook, which WordPress fires from `comment_form()`
and WooCommerce uses for its review form. If your theme builds the form by hand,
add `do_action( 'comment_form', get_the_ID() );` before the submit button, or call`
dama_as_render_guard_fields()`. The System status page warns you when recent submissions
all lack the verification code.
