WP No-Bot Question

Description

This plugin is just a very effective yet simple plugin which adds a question to the comment form that blocks most automated spam-bots by making them answer a common sense question. For optimal effectiveness, you should add multiple questions so that the spambots can’t β€œmemorize” the question and answer. The plugin will display questions at random to prevent the aformentioned memorization. Multiple answers can be added per question to account for variances in answers. (e.g. β€œfive”, β€œFive”, β€œ5”)
