Zero Tolerance

Version 2.2.0 of Low NoSpam introduces the Zero Tolerance setting (EE2 only). With Zero Tolerance enabled, all POST requests on your site will be checked with the NoSpam service defined. If the input was marked as spam by the service, the input will be discarded. Enabling this setting will override any other extension settings and should be used with caution.
