Q: Quick filter pills (All / Blocked / Held / Challenged / Allowed)

Feature Quick filter pills — Lets you instantly filter the Spam Log by action band so you can focus on what matters. How it works AegisSpamGuard assigns a policy action from the final score (Allow/Challenge/Hold/Block). The pills filter the log view without changing stored data. How to access / enable WP Admin → AegisSpamGuard → Spam Log Click a pill: All, Blocked, Held, Challenged, or Allowed. Recommended setting Recommended: Check Held daily; check Blocked weekly. Held is where legitimate users may be waiting; Blocked is useful for trend review and firewall brag stats. Why you need this This helps admins triage quickly and keeps review time short. Additional information

Q: Spam Log overview (cards, filters, and reasons)

Feature Spam Log — The Spam Log is the heart of AegisSpamGuard: it lists every scored event with the action taken and the reasons behind the score. How it works Each event stores a normalized event type (comment/form/registration/checkout/review/rest/search/post), a fingerprint, and a breakdown of signal points so you can audit and tune. How to access / enable WP Admin → AegisSpamGuard → Spam Log Recommended setting Recommended: Start by filtering to Held and Challenged. That’s where you’ll find borderline events that teach you what to allowlist or denylist. Why you need this Admins need visibility and control—transparent reasons turn anti-spam from a black box into an operator dashboard. Additional information

Q: Why AegisSpamGuard avoids CAPTCHA

Feature Why we don’t use CAPTCHA — Explains the UX and security rationale for score-based protection instead of CAPTCHA challenges. How it works AegisSpamGuard focuses on behavior + content + identity scoring to stop spam while keeping forms accessible and conversion-friendly. How to access / enable WP Admin → AegisSpamGuard → Dashboard Scroll to “Why we don’t use CAPTCHA” panel. Recommended setting Recommended: Use score-based Challenge/Hold instead of CAPTCHA for most sites. CAPTCHA increases friction and can reduce conversions; score-based challenges are softer and easier on real users. Why you need this Admins need a clear explanation they can share with clients and stakeholders about why protection is strong without CAPTCHA. Additional information

Q: Cleanup impact (legacy spam scanning results)

Feature Cleanup impact — Summarizes the results of your last Cleanup run (e.g., suspicious comments flagged) and links you to the Cleanup tool. How it works Cleanup scans existing database items in safe batches, re-scores them, and lets you choose actions like Report-only, Move to Spam, or Delete. How to access / enable WP Admin → AegisSpamGuard → Dashboard In “Cleanup impact”, click “Open Cleanup”. Recommended setting Recommended: Run Report-only first, then Move to Spam. Report-only validates the scan before making changes; Move to Spam is safer than delete until you confirm accuracy. Why you need this Admins often inherit sites with years of spam—Cleanup makes it fast and safe to get the database back under control. Additional information

Q: Firewall counters (blocked before WordPress loads)

Feature Firewall counters — Shows how many requests were stopped early by the Spam Firewall (today, last 7 days, total). How it works When Firewall pre-check is enabled, AegisSpamGuard evaluates bot-like traffic early and can challenge or block before normal page processing, reducing server load. How to access / enable WP Admin → AegisSpamGuard → Dashboard Review “Firewall counters”. Click “View Firewall” to open the Firewall log stream. Recommended setting Recommended: Enable firewall after you’ve configured allowlists and thresholds. Firewall is powerful; correct allowlisting prevents accidental friction for trusted services and users. Why you need this Admins use this to demonstrate performance and protection value—blocking bots early reduces CPU and unwanted traffic. Additional information

Q: Open Spam Log button (review decisions)

Feature Open Spam Log — Opens the Spam Log so you can review scored events, reasons, and actions taken. How it works The Spam Log is your audit trail: every event includes its score, the action taken, and the reasons/signals that contributed. How to access / enable WP Admin → AegisSpamGuard → Dashboard In “Last 7 days”, click “Open Spam Log” (or top-right “View Log”). Recommended setting Recommended: Review Held + Challenged items first. These bands are where the best tuning happens—allowlist real users, deny confirmed spam, and train if ML is enabled. Why you need this Admins need the log to validate accuracy, resolve false positives, and prove the plugin is working. Additional information

Q: Configure button (jump to key Settings)

Feature Configure (Protection mode) — The Configure button is a shortcut to the Settings page where you control thresholds, modules, and enforcement behavior. How it works It takes you directly to the configuration that determines how scores map to Allow/Challenge/Hold/Block and which signals are active. How to access / enable WP Admin → AegisSpamGuard → Dashboard In “Protection mode”, click “Configure”. Recommended setting Recommended: Set thresholds first before enabling aggressive modules. Thresholds define your policy; tuning them early prevents over-blocking when additional signals are enabled. Why you need this Admins use this to quickly adjust policy without hunting through menus. Additional information

Q: False positive protection (Hold instead of Block)

Feature False positive protection — When enabled, events that would normally be blocked are instead held for review (unless you explicitly deny them). How it works AegisSpamGuard still scores and classifies events, but it chooses a safer enforcement action to protect real users while you tune thresholds and allowlists. How to access / enable WP Admin → AegisSpamGuard → Dashboard In “Protection mode”, toggle “False positive protection” ON/OFF. Recommended setting Recommended: ON during initial deployment and on business/commerce sites. Holding suspicious events avoids losing legitimate leads/orders while you calibrate scoring. Why you need this This reduces risk on production sites where a single blocked registration or checkout can cost revenue. Additional information

Q: Dashboard overview (At a glance counters)

Feature Dashboard overview (At a glance counters) — The Dashboard gives you a real-time snapshot of what AegisSpamGuard has scored and how it responded (Allowed, Challenged, Held, Blocked). How it works AegisSpamGuard records every scored event in the Spam Log and aggregates summary counts on the Dashboard so you can confirm protection is active without digging through rows. How to access / enable WP Admin → AegisSpamGuard → Dashboard Review the “At a glance” tiles (Last 24 hours: events scored, blocked, held, challenged). Recommended setting Recommended: Review daily for the first week, then weekly. Early monitoring helps you tune allow/deny rules and weights quickly and prevents false positives from going unnoticed. Why you need this Admins need fast visibility to confirm protection is working, measure attack volume, and spot changes after configuration updates. Additional information
