Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the cele domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

I’ve been using the Defensio<\/a> anti-spam plugin on here for a couple of weeks now. I’m a happy man … and I believe it’s superior to the defacto wordpress spam blocker, Akismet. Why?<\/p>\n

1. Defensio seems better at learning what’s spam and what’s not – and it admits its mistakes. there’s an nice little performance tracker in the admin panel that looks like this:<\/p>\n

* Recent accuracy: 99.35%
\n * 2191 spam
\n * 42 legitimate comments
\n * 10 false negatives (undetected spam)
\n * 4 false positives (legitimate comments identified as spam)\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

2. Because of the above, it feels like you have more control over it – Akismet rules your blog’s comment section with an invisible fist of iron… Defensio seems much more laid back – like you can hang out with it and say, hey man, that wasn’t spam, and defensio will be like, dude, sorry about that, i’ll try to remember that next time! <\/p>\n

3. It ranks by spaminess … and obvious spam gets hidden, so you don’t have to go thru the hundreds of spam comments that Akismet makes you sift thru (if you want to bother), only the “possible” spam that might be legit.<\/p>\n

4. The interface somehow feels friendly and inviting (maybe because I know some of the guys involved in the project?)<\/p>\n
