Defensio Anti-Spam Plugin – Anyone On The Beta?


Defensio is a new anti-spam plugin for WordPress that claims to be better than Akismet, which is the most commonly used anti-spam WordPress plugin.  Given that I’m not a big fan of Akismet this doesn’t mean a lot to me, but I was wondering if anyone is part of the Defensio beta trial and whether they wanted to share their views so far?

I stopped using Akismet a long time ago, as I didn’t like the way I couldn’t correct false negatives, which is why I use Spam Karma 2 which is doing an almost perfect job on my blog. Lately though I’ve had to approve more comments as I removed the captcha that was challenging borderline comments based on reader feedback.

I also use a few more spam plugins to stop referral spam and trackback spam.
