Spam suggestion
-
When someone posts spam here, run a script that will take the url, and add it to a public spam blacklist, like this one: http://www.shallalist.de/submissions.html[^]
Best wishes, Hans

I do something similar: I take the common elements found in the spam - keywords, homepage, name, biography - and add them to a common "IsMemberASpammer" function. This gets run regularly, but I still need to do it manually because false positives occur.

Do you do a simple account nuke, or try and fake the spammers out by letting the IP that created it (only) see the account as live while making it dead for the rest of the internet.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius

Nuke. The profiles are posted by the bucket load and are very short term items. A guy working in Vietnam posting spam links for 5c a pop isn't going to bother coming back to check.

You could always add a question or two about a programming concept in the account creation process. A two-bit hustler wouldn't mess with that just to post some spam threads...I would think. Anyways, I think you have a tedious task, dealing with spammers hear. ;)
