Spam Issues

Posted by Pean
792 days ago


We've been having some weird spam issues over the last few days. After we resolved the fake account situation, there seems to be an endless amount of weird pages being created from a numerous amounts of IP addresses that is difficult to permanently block. I want to thank all the admins who have been deleting this nonsense the past few days. We've implemented a captcha system for anonymous edits, so you have to enter one of those words that appear in a fuzzy image -- hopefully this will fix the problem until the weirdness blows over.

Enjoy the Sunday Sports drama!

One drastic idea if it doesn't blow over is to require email confirmation before being able to post. I doubt its necessary, but it's an idea

yeah i hear ya..I think the captcha system works for now...a high % of our edits are logged in users, so i dont think the captcha will affect things too much

Yeah, I'm kind of surprised we didn't have one before. We should probably leave it in. Those things are pretty hard to beat. For a while I was considering doing my undergraduate thesis on developing a neural network system to beat them and blackmailing ebay and ticketmaster, but I decided against it.

Good to hear that this is being implemented. I don't know how many things that I had to delete or fix recently.
