• HTTP request data is checked of the nearly 5,8 million of certain IP spam bots.
• If it is an active spam bot, it gets a blank page, if it is a visitor then it gets a site page. This is completely transparent to the visitors.

All the CleanTalk Spam FireWall activity is being logged in the process of filtering. The logs will be available for viewing in CleanTalk Dashboard since 10/15/2015.

How to protect sites from spam bots without CAPTCHA?

The most popular method is CAPTCHA - the annoying picture with curved and sloping symbols, which are offered to the visitor to fill in. It is supposed that spam bots won't discern these CAPTCHA, but a visitor will. CAPTCHA provokes great irritation, but if one wants to speak out, he has to fill in these symbols time after time, making mistakes and starting once again. Sometimes CAPTCHA reminds doodle 2x year old child. For users with vision problems captcha is just an insurmountable obstacle. Users hate captcha. Captcha for users means "hate". Unreadable CAPTCHA stops about 80% of site visitors. After 2 failed attempts to bring it up to 95% reject further attempts. At the sight of CAPTCHA and after input errors, many visitors leave the resource. Thus, CAPTCHA helps to protect the resource both from bots and visitors. CAPTCHA is not a panacea from spam.
