Hello:

Is there a way we can disallow duplicate comments? Sometimes we get spammers who just copy and paste content into the comments. We want all user comments to be 100% unique. So maybe we could suggest adding this setting to wpdiscuz plugin settings for the admin. So admin can specify "Do not allow duplicate content" ON/OFF and then also have a number value X for maximum number of duplicate words allowed before comment is disallowed. So if admin sets max duplicate word allow to 3 then "I think this is a great article" and "I think this article is not great" will both be allowed because the words after the first 3 words are unique.

Does this make sense?

Would any other WPDiscuz users like to see this feature in settings?

Maybe it could be an add-on?

Please advise on best solution for this

Thanks!

Hi @wizzy

At the moment there is no option to disallow duplicate comments in such a way. We'll take this question/suggestion under consideration

In case you want to say thank you! 🙂

We'd really appreciate if you leave a good review on the plugin page.
This is the best way to say thank you to this project and the support team.
