Bug #: 42284
Summary: More abuse filters:
Product: MediaWiki extensions
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: ArticleFeedbackv5
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Implement new abuse filters to discourage more questionable comments:
* Repeating characters
Disallow posts where the same character is 5 times or more in a row.
See this edit filter #135, which could be adapted for this feedback filter:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseFilter/135
* No punctuation
Disallow comments that have no commas, periods, colons, question marks or
exclamation marks -- often a telltale sign of irrelevant contributions,
according to Stack Overflow founder Jeff Anderson.
* Shouting
Give a warning when most of the comment is ALL CAPS (or 90% of chars.), which
is usually a telltale sign of questionable feedback. This filter was
implemented in April 2012 as filter #458, but disabled by King of Hearts -- and
repurposed for short posts by Sole Shoe in August. I recommend we start a new
feedback filter for this function, but implement it as a Warning (not Disallow)
-- and only for posts that are at least 90% all-caps. FF
* More bad words
We should be able to filter out more offensive words than the small list we now
disallow. I can do more research in coming days and email a larger list to our
developer, rather than posting these swear words here.
As a result, I hope we can filter more irrelevant posts than we do now (about
10% of total feedback is now filtered through this tool, and it may be possible
to increase that number with a few more reliable filters).
