This module has been fantastic at catching spam, thank you!!

Three feature requests:
1) Some sort of notification to the user that his or her comment is being held for moderation.  To the user, it just looks like the form didn’t work, and that makes them frustrated.

2) Some sort of “user” tracking, so that if I go into my log and see that user “BigSpammer” has spammed my board 3 times, I can email/PM him, or ban user or ip.

3) In the back end page, some sort of pagination, or tag to say “I’ve looked at these” so I can (a) find the new comments I need to look for false-positives, and (b) so I don’t have to scroll through hundreds of comments to get to the “Publish and Notify Defensio” action.

But overall, I am extremely pleased with this module, and I would gladly pay for it.

You’re very welcome, tmoswift.

Our development of this module has been put on hold, but if that should change, we’ll let you know.

Does Defensio affect comment notification at all? My problem is that comment notifications are being sent for unapproved (offensive spam) comments. I don’t want any notifications sent until the comment is approved.

Yes, the module does need to be adjusted to not send notifications in some cases that it currently does; we may restart development on this in the future, but at this time, we’re not updating it.  I’ll let you know if that changes.
