wordpress-comment-blacklist VS hosts-blocklists

someone on reddit suggests this https://github.com/splorp/wordpress-comment-blacklist/blob/master/readme.md

I should also say that while I don't use captcha, I do have a hidden honeypot field and then a massive blacklist sourced from splorp's github (plus a few of my custom keywords). If something manages to get past Cloudflare, they still have the honeypot and the blacklist to deal with. All this happens without inconveniencing actual human users.

that's not the blacklist, this is. over 50k terms, not common one word ones like the one you have mentioned.

Also see: https://github.com/splorp/wordpress-comment-blacklist (Search and delete keywords in the list that might be normal for your website. - You can paste this into the Wordpress blacklist.). Finally, do not publish your website on untrusted sites, as these may send spam to your website.

https://github.com/notracking/hosts-blocklists seems dead. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DandelionSprout/adfilt/master/LegitimateURLShortener.txt should work except the regex rules.

had the same issue, was caused by notracking

Unfortunate that the map is on your simpleanalytics.com site. NextDNS tells me it is blocked by the notracking list: https://github.com/notracking/hosts-blocklists

Here is a project that attempts to do that
