The version of Openlibrary that is running and available at http://openlibrary.org won't be automatically updated unless someone actively deploys the latest code to the servers. This can be automated in various ways, but I have no idea how IA does/did this internally, deployments are outside the remit of github. As Karen says there is some risk in just deploying without first testing how the new code integrates with the other parts of the IA. The tests I have seen included with the code are unit tests that test small units of functionality, not how the system functions as a whole. I got the impression that the coverage of those unit tests were better in some areas than in others too. Knowing what extra testing Anand did before a release would help. Devs can run an instance locally, but the limitations are the available test data, integrations with external services that we won't have working copies of, and knowing which areas need manual testing. > > > the current method of removing unwanted entries? > > There's an admin-side tool that just bans the user and bulk-deletes > all their entries, so we wouldn't even have to collect their > contributions, we can just mass delete their stuff under the > assumption that it's all spam.

It's a bit rough, currently it only looks for the presence of a few characters, there's a square bracket thing that seems to be a signature, but here's a list of spam accounts over the last 500 new accounts it has picked up: https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/er4w42w3eer4w42w3e https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/ist3526 https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/temi000 https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/gbfrderdegbfrderde https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/fgre3e3fgre3e3 https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/er4t6q234e https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/t5q23e https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/4t6q23we https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/gre3regre3re https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/dghmghm https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/er4t6q34r https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/der4t6aw3e https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/tey55tswtey55tsw https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/4y6q34r https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/rthsthsrt https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/rsthrthtjdfhcb https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/ghrthdrthdd https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/hy5tr46hy5tr46 https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/hfghfghvdv https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/gfgnfvvdv https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/dghjaertaervd https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/hye4y64hye4y64 https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/zgnzdfvd https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/gytee45e4gytee45e4 https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/dfnzdfnzdfnsv https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/q52w34rtg https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/dbsdbsddbd https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/gtr4e3regtr4e3re https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/fgnfgngdfvcxvcv https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/gfhgdfg https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/xvxcvv https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/minemine601 https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/dfhgdfhdsf https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/xczxczxc https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/dxcvxvcv https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/cxccsfvxx https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/sdfdcxc https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/cutecutie498 https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/zcxzcxc https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/cscxcxx https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/czsdvd https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/zxczxcxc https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/zxcxzczxc https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/xcvxcvcvxv https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/aesdfaff https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/hgjdjgfd <https://openlibrary.org/admin/people/hgjdjgfd> disappointingly, I think that's not even 24 hours worth. If this is going to help you keep on top of the problem though, I can modify it further to suit, or run it over more of the new-account changes to catch more. Regards, Charles.
