    Jetpack: Unknown

    Hi there! You’ve landed on the forums for websites that are hosted here with us on WordPress.com. It doesn’t look like your account has any WordPress.com-hosted sites associated with it – we include spam protection by default; were you asking about a site you’re building using the WordPress software which comes from WordPress.org instead?

    If so, then what we could suggest is the Akismet anti-spam plugin; it’s part of the same family of products as WordPress.com (and it’s what we use here), and it’s also compatible with various form plugins as well as blog post comments:

    Of course, there are other options out there – the community forums over at WordPress.org may also have some good suggestions for you:
