<p>69.236.173.183: Update on changes to Open Circuits Mediawiki installation to help with Spam situation.</p> <hr /> <div>Possible solutions and what is currently being done to combat the growing spam problem.<br /> <br /> == Spam Blacklist Extension ==<br /> <br /> The first way that we can decrease the spam problem is by using a ''blacklist'' filtering approach. There is a widely used MediaWiki extension called [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SpamBlacklist Spam Blacklist] that checks instances of URLs in new posts against a shared blacklist. If a match is found, posting is prevented.<br /> <br /> On this server, this extension is currently configured to use the [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Spam_blacklist Mediawiki Spam Blacklist]. However, if this proves insufficient, a local blacklist can also be created.<br /> <br /> == reCAPTCHA Extension ==<br /> <br /> An additional method of preventing spam is to prevent automated posting. One method of doing this is through a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captcha CAPTCHA]. A CAPTCHA is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_Turing_test reverse Turing Test] that determines whether or not submissions and new user requests are coming from a human or not.<br /> <br /> The implementation that has been put in place for Open Circuits makes use of the [http://recaptcha.net/ reCAPTCHA] plugin. From the reCAPTCHA site:<br /> <br /> By default, CAPTCHAs are triggered on the following events:<br /> <br /> *New user registration<br /> *Anonymous edits that contain new external links<br /> *Brute-force password cracking<br /> <br /> == Other Suggestions ==<br /> <br /> [[russ_hensel]] suggests that a first step is to require all users to register, when they spam ( hopefully never ) delete them.</div>
