  = How can setup plugin in WPMU version? =
225
  In WordPress multisite version you can switch the plugin to use Global Access key.

To setup global CleanTalk access key for all websites in WPMU, define constant in your wp-config.php file before defining database constants:

229
  Now, all subsites will have this access key.

  == Frequently Asked Questions ==
236
+
237
+ = Why are they spamming me? =
238
+ Spammers want to get backlinks from your site to improve their site's PageRank or redirect your visitors to malicious sites.This level of spam can damage your reputation with readers and commentators if you fail to tackle it. It is not uncommon for some WordPress websites to receive hundreds or even thousands of comments every week. However, by using a CleanTalk plugin, spam can be easily handled by your WordPress website.
239
 
240
  = Is the anti-spam protection safe for mobile visitors? =
241
  Yes, it is. The plugin doesn't block mobile visitors as well as desktop website visitors. It uses several independent anti-spam tests to decrease the number of false outcomes and to have as low false-positive rate as possible. Multiple anti-spam tests help to avoid false/positive blocks for real website visitors even if one of the tests failed.
243
  = What does the plugin do with spam comments? =
244
  Spam comments are being moved to SPAM folder by default or you can set the option to ban spam comments silently.
245
 
246
+ = How can I test the anti-spam protection? =
247
+ Please use the email **stop_email@example.com** for comments, contacts or signups to see how the anti-spam protection works. Also you can see the logs for the last 7 days at the <a href="http://cleantalk.org/my/show_requests">Control panel</a> or look at the folder "Spam" for banned comments.
