Re: [Jaws-project-developers] More spam ideas

[DrSlump <dr...@dr...>]

hi,

I guess a good approach is to record the IP along with the URLs 
contained in the comment. If  more than *2* comments being  reported as 
spam do come from the same IP, then it's a safe bet that it's actually 
spam. If more than *5* reported comments do have the same URLs it can be 
considered spam even if the IP is different.
Of course those numbers should be fine tuned to get the best results.

Even when a post is considered spam the submitter should have the chance 
to prove the system wrong. To acomplish this, in the case a comment is 
considered as spam the submitter is presented with a turing test to 
prove he is a human :)

ciao,
ivan
