| − | ==Spam problem==
| |
| − | I just framed out a [[Battling spam]] article, and will be working on that issue this week. I have a bunch of resources on this that I just need to review, and then implement some new tactics. I think we might go with captchas for unregistered users, as you had recommended. --[[User:Jon|Jon]] 21:19, 7 July 2009 (MDT)

| − | :Made some headway here; I implemented a script called [http://www.umasswiki.com/wiki/UMassWiki:Bad_Behavior_2_Extended Bad Behavior], that monitors activity for signs of bots. Looks like it's working quite well. If that doesn't do it, next step is to use CATPCHAs, which I think we should do for unregistered users only, as you had suggested. Also, the [[Battling spam]] article is pretty comprehensive now. Anyway, thanks for your help on catching the spam, hopefully the process will be more automated from now on. --[[User:Jon|Jon]] 13:26, 9 July 2009 (MDT)
