Revision as of 06:07, 31 October 2007

Any user can suggest URLS that the see in repeated spam here. Sysops should comment on entries that have been added to the list or declined, to avoid duplication of effort.

Suggestions for blacklisting

  • hranostaj.com
    • Done. -- Mr. Flay 12:19, 5 October 2007 (MDT)
  • hajl.cheefmsn.com
    • The problem with this one is that none of the links on the spammed pages actually go to cheefmsn.com, which I assume is why the filter isn't catching them. somestrangeflea 00:36, 9 October 2007 (MDT)
      • Ahah, good catch. -- Mr. Flay 14:20, 13 October 2007 (MDT)
  • opredo.info
  • azresults.com
    • Both added. 08:50, 17 October 2007 (MDT)
  • adsmc.com
  • cdq369.com
  • WWW.yhht-valve.com
    • All three added. -- Mr. Flay 08:50, 17 October 2007 (MDT)
  • byzxw.com (from that spammer you just blocked) -gorc

Specific entries that should be whitelisted

This can include personal webpages of actual Scummers on troublesome domains, or that happen to contain a word that is often used in spam.

alphabetical

should we alphabetize the list?.. just seems like it would be easier to not get duplicates if it was organized somehow
-- LyingBrian 13:22, 18 October 2007 (MDT)

ok, i went ahead & did this... if there's a reason why it shouldn't be alphabetized, feel free to revert it, adding 'casino' to the list...
-- LyingBrian 13:29, 18 October 2007 (MDT)
Nope, order doesn't matter, and that seems like a reasonable way of keeping the list easy to manage... -- Mr. Flay 13:59, 18 October 2007 (MDT)

Funny thing

Hi! Some minutes ago I was updating my userpage and when I hit "Save" it came a warning page saying the the Spam filter blocked my page. Reason? Apparently the link to my deviantart account. screenshot The same happened with my blog link (which is vacuidaddeluz in blogspot) Maybe the filter's looking for URLs with "de". It's not a big deal to me, as I'm not whoring for traffic to my blog, but this means the filter's possibly too good. Andycyca||me||What? 10:11, 30 October 2007 (MDT)

Thanks a lot, I'll try it now. Maybe if ".de" or similar are too common my links should be whitelisted or something. time will tell if .de is potential spam... Andycyca||me||What? 00:05, 31 October 2007 (MDT)
Yep, that's exactly what the whitelist is for. We can try whitelisting deviantart.com for now and see if that helps... -- Mr. Flay 00:07, 31 October 2007 (MDT)
