Yeah, I'd really like to have a sort of interaction of this data. I'm developing a "related tags" algorithm and have found a bunch of spammers (about 20-30) of which about 5 weren't recognized as spam by delicious. Also Amir has got some good information.
I think that spam is a big problem of such a service and it will always be. The better the heuristics, the better the spammer, the better the heuristics. I would be interested into working together in identifying spam. Like when two heurisitics think a user is spam it really is marked as spam, etc.. greets Philipp > > I'm just thinking that you could automate communication betw. del. and > other interested parties, and that part of this communication could be > *inbound*, alerting del. and/or Y! to "bad" IP addresses, etc.... > > Matthew > > [1] http://www.cc.gatech.edu/index.php?searchword=merrick > +furst&option=com_search&Itemid=&searchphrase=all > > On 2/12/06, joshua schachter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > There's a bunch of heuristics to deal with this stuff.
