## Description

RedBrick is able to block most of the automated spam comments a WordPress blog receives
daily.

It is based upon a score system that ensures spam comments are blocked as soon as
possible, so as to minimise the number of checks each comment must go through. When
in doubt, RedBrick always holds the comment in the moderation queue. Comments identified
as spam, however, never reach the database.

As a last resource in discerning the kind of comment under examination, RedBrick
takes account also of the comment author’s history.

**The plugin is designed to work on low-to-medium traffic blogs.**
