This is a good point, thanks for bringing it up. Carl-Daniel Hailfinger wrote: > https://freenode.net/kb/answer/chat contradicts your claims. Quoting that page, "The hidden service requires SASL authentication." Requiring authentication clearly goes against the spirit of both Tor and net neutrality; so depending on freenode services to authenticate contributions turns out to be a bad idea. But handling spam takes effort, which in turn takes (time || money), and there is no technical one-shot solution. At a minimum it requires recurring engineering on the order of a few days every few months. There is indeed a tradeoff here, between accessibility and cost. I would like a two-tier system of authenticated reviewers like on Wikipedia very much, and as a minimum-effort one-shot solution I think that would last the longest time, but it still needs to be implemented. Wiki admins: Would that need more effort than IRC integration? //Peter -- coreboot mailing list: [email protected] https://mail.coreboot.org/mailman/listinfo/coreboot
