With prebuilt software, a small custom change required for creating content is often times enough to deter mass automated spam. My go to for a number of the years was to add a form field with the label "Enter the word 'orange'". Trivial for a human but requires just a bit of customization for a bot, enough that most spammers won't bother.
- dhosek 6y agoI'm building a bespoke replacement for the wiki since all the pages share the same structure and the mediawiki solution isn't as user-friendly as I'd like. Hopefully I won't do anything dumb like the naïve contact form I'd made that turned into a spam vector because I was putting unsanitized user input into mail headers.
