ASk HN: Handy domain blacklists to preload a new site with?
About to launch a major update to our anonymous network, socialface.com, and we'll be adding a /news style system to the works.
Being a single dev and enjoying daily periods of sleep, I'm looking to minimize the spammers as quickly as possible and was hoping to preload a couple thousand blacklisted domains or so.
I'm not looking for email spammers, or bad IPs specifically, but a list of known social news style domain spammers.
Any tips or similar experience would appreciated?

- mishmash 17y agoAwesome, thanks!
- pg 17y agoI just emailed you the latest, but considering the content you may find it's in your spam folder.
- mishmash 17y agoUnbelievable thanks for sharing these. How wide or narrow were you wanting to keep their distribution?
- mishmash 17y agoHopefully not too far, but so others could share in them: http://gist.github.com/148247 http://gist.github.com/148247
- mlLK 17y agoSo is http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=499044 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=499044 out of date? I hate to sound pushy but could you post this as a text file or put it in some sort private repository?
- pg 17y agoEven the list I emailed mishmash is out of date, now.
- mishmash 17y agoIt almost needs to be a private service API. edit: for simplicity sake, maybe HN users with 100+ karma ;) see a top level "Spammers" link to a nightly text file?
- mishmash 17y agoOkay I've sleepily written a Ruby wrapper around the initial list you sent me, Ruby folks can get the code here: http://github.com/oftenvoid/donuts/tree/master http://github.com/oftenvoid/donuts/tree/master TODO: would obviously be to move to a dynamic list at some point. Also, each domain is stored as ascii text, so it would probably make sense to hash them, etc. Tasks for another day... :)
- mlLK 17y agoNow, I think the 'out of date' idiom is out of date. . .BTW, what's up with submission filter or how did saveie6.com end up in the index 3 times? google 'site:ycombinator.com (saveie6.com) AND (intitle:ie6 OR intitle:saveie6)'
