Groups seem the first mechanism likely to be targetted by spammers, since you could make a fresh account, join !dailyme, !ubuntu, !twitterfails and !linux, getting a potential audience of several 10s of 1000s. Is there much evidence yet of spammer attention, in general or w.r.t. groups? I was wondering whether a can-post-to-groups flag might be earned by being @-mentioned by eg. 7 other users (in general, not from same group) who have themselves got their can-post-to-groups flag set. And if statusnet did have such information about accounts, it would be rather nice data to syndicate downstream (eg. rdfa) for other openid/foaf users, so that this karma could be used when signing up for other sites. Do you keep any 'number of @-mentions' stats already? cheers, Dan _______________________________________________ StatusNet-dev mailing list StatusNet-dev@lists.status.net http://lists.status.net/mailman/listinfo/statusnet-dev
