Stop spam
-
Hi CP Team, In a few recent articles I can see multiple spams posted by members an example. So I just thought cant we put some heavy restrictions like multiple authentication(if post contains some URLs, a $, shipping,price,paypal etc), account suspension or barring from post for a few days (In case post is "reported[Abusive spam]").

Oh for a minute there I thought you had a solution, not just a random suggestion! I do believe the hamsters are doing a reasonable job of eliminating the spam, it is not possible to asses the content of the post reliably. At least I can think of many legitimate subjects which that would trigger your onerous authentication. This would only act to irritate the very people who are trying to contribute to the site. I know I have a standing order for telepathic software but have achieved it yet!
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

An anti-spam system was implemented recently, but it was so aggressive it started to close down accounts of some of the more senior members of the site, which was not popular.
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.
perhaps designers also inserted Demographic shift algorithm in the software ;)
