    Hello Antispam Bee Team,

    First of all, thank you for this excellent and efficient plugin. I have been using Antispam Bee on multiple websites for years and am very satisfied with its performance.

    I have a practical suggestion that I hope you can consider for future development:

    • The ability to export the local spam learning data from one site and import it into another site.
    • This feature could help website administrators shorten the initial training period of the plugin on new sites and improve the overall user experience.
    • The goal is to allow the local learning data of Antispam Bee to be transferred safely between sites without risking broken references or data loss.

    I would greatly appreciate it if you could review this suggestion and, if possible, provide guidance or plans for adding this feature.

    Thank you very much for your attention,

    Hamed Sedaghat

    Hi @visualhost

    thanks for your kind words and for your suggestion!

    Antispam Bee is not really “learning”, it compares every new comment with all existing spam comments and if it finds a match, it will mark the new comment as spam too.

    This means you could just export your spam comments and import them on a new site. I do not have tested it, but maybe this plugin can also export/import spam comments:
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/comments-import-export-woocommerce/

    But I think this will not be very effective, as spam typically comes in “waves”. I would recommend using only the last 30-90 days of spam comments. Using this way made my blog 99.9% spam free for more than a decade now.

    Still I want to thank you for sharing your idea with us! Very much appreciated 🙂

    All the best
    Torsten
