What are some techniques to filter out spam on vote based systems?
In my example, users vote a post either as good or bad. The only solution I have so far is to put captcha on sign up and block IPs with lot of activities for set period. Are there better ways of doing this?
- typicalrunt 15y agoI'm confused. Are you trying to stop people from spamming the voting system (up/down voting), or are they submitting spam posts and then voting it up?
- oxplot 15y agoBoth. However I'm not very concerned about the latter, because other users can down vote a spam post. What users can't do is upvote/downvote a vote itself.
- rfurlan 15y agoIt is hard to say without knowing more details of the system you are working on, can you elaborate?
- oxplot 15y agoThe system would be very similar if not entirely identical to sites like youtube (comment section), stackoverflow, reddit
