Clarification on how Low NoSpam is supposed to work.
Unfortunately, I have a legacy 1.x project that at the moment can't be migrated to EE2. I'm trying to use Low NoSpam.
It would seem in EE1, comments can only be "closed" or "open", not "pending".
So, if we already have "Moderate Comments?" set to yes for the weblog (in otherwords, comments default to closed), would Low NoSpam actually be doing anything, or does it only make sense when you want moderation off?
The client I'm dealing with still wants to moderate, but was just frustrated with the amount of comments they had to sort through that were spam (even though we're already using captchas, and white/black lists, which is why I suggested Akismet/Low NoSpam).
Maybe I'm missing something, any insight is appreciated.

For EE1, Low NoSpam will set comments to Closed if they are considered spam. It will perform the check, but the effect is not noticeable, since the comments will already be set to closed in your case.

Thank you, that's what I thought.
Is this behavior is different in EE2?

Yeah, there you have these options:
Set caught comments to Pending
Set caught comments to Closed
Discard caught comments
