Re: forum spam cont

Looks like there has been a drop but too many still get through.

Please consider enhancing the httpbl by:

1. Tightening up the defaults a bit. This is a difficult one as when I got caught by it while visiting the site on my phone from a bar once, I could see the Drupal implementation, Drupal 5 at lest, is not as nuanced as the SMF one I use.

2. Probably more important, add some red flag terms in post titles and auto delete and mark posters as spammers.
-  "Louis Vuitton" should be #1 on the list
- "Air Jordan"
- "nike shoes"
- "handbags"

I can understand there might be some reluctance, but "Louis Vuitton" definitely should be done.


Thoughts?

PS. Would be nice to compare the number of posts passed on to mollom pre and post httbl

Using the SMF implementation together with some homebrew stuff, haven't had a spammer register since on a pretty moribund site ... the sort that usually gets overrun.
