Journal Home Official Blog

Added another spam check tool.

Posted in Unspecified

I added a robot to check all the entries, (currently about 120000 and counting), for spam. This robot simply checks for spam entries and notifies me when it finds one.
Sadly it is not a foul proof system, not all spammers will be caught and not all bad accounts will be locked, but it should go a long way to remove all the 'dead' spammer accounts.

I looked at other blog services and I am shocked at the number of spam entries that they have, some of the services were killed by those spam accounts and I don't want that to happen to JournalHome.

I have already removed a few hundred accounts, (the obvious ones), and all new spam fake accounts should be removed without delay, the main problem is the accounts that have been around since 2005. I still want to remove them, (I think they give a bad impression of the blogs here).
For now, the robot does not remove spam account automatically, I will set it in automatic mode once I am happy it is working as expected.

I also noticed that editing/submitting new entries is very slow, this is because of the 'ping' service. I am working on it and should have a solution soon.
