Mephisto Comment Defensio Plugin

2007-12-19T12:00:00Z

A plugin for Mephisto providing Defensio spam filtering to comments.

The plugin uses the Defensio module from Rick Olsen's Viking to provide comment spam filtering with the Defensio service.

The plugin hooks into the comments model and functions in the same way as the Akismet code - basically it adds a switch between the two depending on which is configured.

If you have Akismet configured on your blog then this plugin will use Defensio only if configured, otherwise it will fall back to Akismet.

If you have no Akismet installed and don't configure this plugin then it will have no spam protection.

The behaviour is unchanged from Akismet - i.e. approving a comment will mark it as ham and unapproving a comment will mark it as spam.
