I didn't find one searching for "plugin". A howto for installing plugins, and another for writing plugins would be handy. I'm willing to create one, (would need review) but not if it already exists somewhere. > You've got a lot of dead code in there (commented out) that makes it > practically impossible to read.

Stuff that's inappropriate for blog > comments ("Hello") is fine for microblogging. How's Mollom working out? Well, it's not detecting "hello" as spam. It blocked alot of russian spam overnight. Didn't block all the "wow gold" spam. (I have my Mollom language set to māori) I gotta wait for the spammers to come back again and see. tempted to pipe my blog comment spammers into laconica to see how it goes over the next week. My theory is OMB ham is different to comment ham -- but OMB spam is similar to comment spam. Thoughts on how to train it? Mollom wants any false negatives to be sent back for further training -- but how to add this to laconica? Let every user have the right to mark something as spam? _______________________________________________ Laconica-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.laconi.ca/mailman/listinfo/laconica-dev
