It seems this is part of the automation, it got flagged based on this.
By the way, I am quite happy with JavaScript based spamfilters, they work quite well for small websites. The service Stop Forum Spam is something that seems fit for this, also at bigger scale. I assume Akismet might be good too, but it is somewhat leaky in privacy, depending on what you send to it.
- lrem 5y agoStop Forum Spam looks nice. It's great they're giving the data like this. In fact, I'm somewhat surprised there's no software download to self-host. Seems rather easy to make, given the data files. Are there any other filters you recommend?
- mpol 5y agoThis was already my list of "approved" spamfilters :) I don't know any others that I like and are low in false positives.
- lrem 5y agoI'm wondering how much a Hashcash implementation would help. The approach doesn't seem to be widely attempted. Maybe because we assume spammers are using botnets anyway and don't care about computational cost?
