Feature
Similarity to known spam — Scores new submissions by comparing them to spam previously blocked on your site.
How it works
AegisSpamGuard stores fingerprints and patterns from blocked events and checks similarity within a lookback window. Similar messages get points even if they change slightly.
How to access / enable
- WP Admin → AegisSpamGuard → Settings
- Content module settings
- Enable similarity and set lookback + threshold.
Recommended setting
Recommended: ON with 30-day lookback and ~0.72 threshold to start.
This catches evolving spam campaigns while reducing false positives by requiring high similarity.
Why you need this
Admins benefit because spam waves usually reuse templates—similarity detection breaks that advantage.
