Sorry to bother the list with this again, but what is the current status
of the SpamFilter? Are people using this successfully and do you use it
with a captcha plugin of some type?
The SpamFilter is stable and has been extremely effective on the
Edgewall Trac site after the introduction of the SpamBayes filter and
karma system. There's no captcha plugin, but based on the
effectiveness of the current filters there's no need to bug users with
this.
I was thinking about the version of the plugin that only bugged users
with a captcha when they tried to edit their user data. This would
effectively allow the user to prove that they are human once. Then the
SpamFilter code something it could check to know if the user is human.
I think (but could be wrong) that this is already used by the SpamFilter
code to allow known users to post even if Akismet thinks the content is
spam.
Once again though, I haven't followed this discussion for quite a while
so I could be completely wrong.
The SpamBayes filter is the most important. With a little
training at the beginning it catches almost all spam. The IPBlacklist
filter has also been helpful. The Akismet service seems to be working
again, though it's been rather flakey in the past, so if you enable it
I'd only recommend giving it a small karma weighting.
Ok. I will give this a try.
Thanks,
Allen
BTW, this is probably more of a Users topic than a Dev one.
