Ruthless Spam checking botTweetIn my previous post I mentioned that I added a new internal spam checking 'robot'. In the past week this bot has identified about 2000 spam accounts! I have been checking most of them manually but it looks like it is fairly accurate, (so far). I suspended most of them  .The accounts are only 'suspended' and can be restored at any stage, I will not delete any of them for the foreseeable future, (just to make absolutely certain that this is not a mistake on the part of the robot). I still manually suspend accounts myself to make sure that there are no 'real' users affected but so far the result has been fairly good. The robot is fairly new and I am still tweaking some basic issues with it. The downside of all those spam accounts is that they have been dragging JournalHome.com down in the various rankings, (and, to be fair, you cannot really blame Google for that). So, it will take time but hopefully this major house keeping will help us all in the long run. This is of course all in preparation of moving to Wordpress at some point in the near future. Currently the Wordpress platform is not 100% ready and there are still some issues, (mostly about spam control), but the migration is coming along nicely. 08h59 - 12/8/2010 - post comment
