Spam

·

Argh. Too much spam is getting through again; even with Akismet. So I'm in the process of writing a new spam class. The aim is to build a comment score (similar to email spam filtering programs) based on the following:


  • Email Address/Name/Website

  • Comment Body (number of links etc)

  • If the user is registered

  • If the user has successfully posted a comment before

  • white and black lists

  • response from akismet

  • how old and how many comments a post has


So hopefully I can cut down the spam.
