Spammers
-
Although we don't see much spams in CodeProject, there is this one black magic expert who is really getting on my nerves. Every other day, I see he posts half a dozen messages in a short span of time. I understand that it's difficult to built a perfect spam detector but would it a be good idea to prevent some one to post only a certain number of questions in a time-window. So for e.g. I should be limited to post only 1-2 questions in a span of 15 minutes. What do you think?

How about max 2 questions per day until you're having bronze in the appropriate category. The problem is that it's easy enough to register another account, so it won't be very efficient and probably not worth the effort. I'd rather see that they block Indian phonenumbers in Usernames, subject lines and posts.

Far too easy to get around. I'm adding some more filtering.
