Hi guys, The spam on users' diaries and users' pages is getting quite annoying. Some user just now flooded the main diary page with drug ads. Using rel=nofollow is apparently not much of a deterrent.
I think one really effective way of dealing with this is to reject addition of a user description or a diary entry if the user is quite new and has no OSM edits yet. This would correspond to the Wikipedia user without the autoconfirmed bit set yet. What do you guys think? (Then again, it may be that the sysads can currently handle the volume now so this change in the site software is not needed.) Eugene (osm:seav)
