This page is for making notes about spam patterns, so we can figure out how block them.

August 2011

Some spam I deleted today:

For those last two, there was also a lot of text with an enormous number of <br> tags. That could be a spam signal, but would give false positives on its own - as someone genuine, pasting in some appropriate content but in poorly converted HTML markup. I think AbuseFilter lets us assign points to a suspicious pattern, so if it fits that pattern and another one, then it can be blocked. (It can also be flagged by AbuseFilter, at least.) --Chriswaterguy 02:06, 18 August 2011 (PDT)
