Defending Against It

23 March 2008

I have completed wlk_defensio, a plugin utilizing the Defensio spam-fighting service. I started developing this thing awhile ago but got side-tracked with other responsibilities. While I wasn’t paying attention, the Defensio guys added OpenID logins to the accounts on their service. I love OpenID and so this only added to the pleasure I have found with their quality service.

The Defensio API is beautiful and quite simple and easy to use. Because of that, I should have had this plugin out awhile ago…..ahhh well.

Here’s the download of wlk_defensio

      Feature list:

      • Notify Defensio of false positives and false negatives
      • Automatically mark email within Textpattern as spam
      • Configure the Spaminess rating that determines if a comment is spam (defaults to .8)
      • Turn auto-mark on & off via preferences.

      The only real thing on my roadmap right now:

      • Fix the comment administration so that it better communicates a comment's status and rating levels to the user.

      Just a warning that this plugin seems to require the Curl libraries to work, so if you don’t have those enabled (as a module for apache, usually), it won’t work.
