| Plugin | Version | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Akismet | 2.0 | Akismet checks your comments against the Akismet web service to see if they look like spam or not. You need a WordPress.com API key to use it.

| Angsuman’s Referrer Bouncer | 1.2 | Bounce referer spammers back to their own sites. The plugin comes with a list of default sites. However you can modify the referer.txt file to add/remove your referer’s(requires that the file is first created either manually or through a link provided later). Do not leave any empty lines or extra spaces in the file. If you have not manually created a file called referer.txt in wp-content directory then you can create it here. This creates an empty file. Unless you add some referer data to it (one per line) no filtering will be done. Creating this files disables the default filter list. You can reset to the default filter list by either deleting this file or copying the default filter list to this file. After you are done with creating/deleting the referer.txt file you *must* disable the links to create and delete the referer file to prevent outsiders from accessing these functions. You can still modify it as before(if it has already been created before). To re-enable creating/deleting referer.txt you must manually delete nrsetup.txt file in wp-content directory.
