Re: [Inkscape-devel] Wiki again

24 Nov 2004

      I have an approach for how to solve this spam problem once and for all,
with a small amount of programming, however I haven't had time to look
into it.
Would someone be able to work on this over the holiday?  I doubt it'd
be more than half a dozen lines of Perl coding, so probably could be
done in an afternoon.
The idea is basically to include a second edit box next to the comment
box, with the phrase, "Type NOSPAM here:"  [________]
Any edits to a page must be accompanied with that value in the edit box,
else an error message will be returned.  If we find spammers start using
this, we change the phrase (or replace it with an image).
The wiki.pl CGI can be checked out of the inkscape_project CVS module.
Can someone with Perl skills volunteer for this task?

The wiki is facing two different types of spammers :

the ones that create some new pages flooded with spam (current case)
some others that simply add parasite links/coontent to existing web pages
and some other replacing the content of some pages with spam

Something interesting, most of the time the parasite content/spam is exactly
the  same within a same or different spam campaign. Does anyone know about a
robot/script allowing to do some reverse spam (simply removing some identified
content) ?

Hi,
Yet another spammer wants to be banned from the Wiki. See the
recent changes for details (if you're strong enough for this
kind of stuff).
