Detectar usuários spam TL0 ao usar o plugin Akismet

Gostaríamos de detectar usuários spam usando o plugin Akismet (quando instalado). O campo “Sobre mim” do usuário será usado como entrada no Akismet para detectar usuários spam. Isso detectará spam apenas entre usuários TL0.

Isso envolverá aprimorar o plugin Akismet existente para detectar usuários spam.

Exemplo de um usuário spam:

Estarei trabalhando nesta melhoria. Avise-me se isso precisar de mais informações ou esclarecimentos.

Obrigado

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
