Detectar usuarios spam TL0 al usar el plugin Akismet

Nos gustaría detectar usuarios spam utilizando el plugin Akismet (cuando esté instalado). El campo Sobre mí del usuario se utilizará como entrada para Akismet para detectar usuarios spam. Esto solo detectará spam entre usuarios de nivel TL0.

Esto implicará mejorar el plugin Akismet existente para detectar usuarios spam.

Ejemplo de un usuario spam:

Trabajaré en esta mejora. Háganme saber si se necesita más información o aclaración.

Gracias

Strongly recommend you hold off on any work here until @eviltrout is done with the new review queue.

Actually, I’m not planning to show spam users on interface in initial version. I still have to see where it can be put in the UI. Initial version will just be an enhancement in the Akismet plugin to detect spam users. We will just check TL0 users and store their results. I can integrate to this new Review Queue later instead when working on interface for the user.

P.S: I’m mostly done with my initial code :sweat_smile:

Do we want this feature to be controlled by a SiteSetting? Currently, I’m just checking if the Akismet plugin is enabled. If it is, then I process the users too.

I think it will be helpful to put these feature behind a setting since everyone might not want to use it. Also, there is an extra cost if we send more requests than a threshold to Akismet ( Commercial Use Plans, Fees and Payment section in Terms of Service - Stay informed | Akismet).

What do you think?

I highly doubt this will cause a significant bump in submissions to Akismet, so on by default is best. We should only be checking this in a few rare conditions:

  • user is TL0
  • user fills out user profile as a TL0 user

Okay, I will not add a setting then for now.

Thanks
