Spam Fighting Changes - Public forums safe again!
In the last couple of weeks we have implemented multiple changes to slow spam posting. In addition during the last few week we have been evaluating usage patterns, evaluating the best options going forward and have been doing research on anti-spam techniques to find a long term solution.
This morning we've implemented additional changes that should stop spam bots. To be clear, we cannot stop all spam. If someone is manually posting junk there isn't much to be done, but we are able to stop and slow most bot style behavior. Without getting into too many details we believe that the changes we made this morning will stop the spam botting.
The end result? Your public forums should be safe again. If you see signs of bots at work please let us know.
Enjoy!
