I agree with Chris on this one. As someone who has just recently started using ASSP (still in testmode), and slowly catching up to the learning curve, I can testify that it is very daunting to jump into the fight without really knowing / understanding how or where to start the fight. Although fighting spam is a subjective thing, having real life examples help out tremendously. The default settings are rather lack-lustre at best, and didn't help me learn much. Fritz's examples, however, helped me enormously. I know that had there been more examples I could look at/learn from, I know it could only be more beneficial. And especially at the beginning where there is soooo much to learn, I found it much easier to start with a functional system and work my way backwards to understand why some things were done, rather than to start at a pretty bare system and try to figure out how to set it up for a real-world application. >> Another, IMHO, would be something on the WiKi (or elsewhere) for regex's >> that the ASSP community can vote up or down in regards to >> effectiveness.

If someone can find something to vote with either > wiki-integrated or otherwise, I'll gladly add it to the site. Again, a fantastic idea. The more contributions we have, only the better it can be. I took a quick stroll around google looking for some form of a mediawiki plugin for voting, but instead ran across ValueWiki (http://www.valuewiki.com/w/Category:Top_10) where they have voting capabilities built into their mediawiki site. I tried to dig further, but couldn't find anything, but I figured that there would have to be somebody who knows how they did it... But I couldn't even find a contact-us or anything on the site. Anyone else have any ideas? Eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
