Cool anti-spam measures
Wednesday
Sep 14, 2005
I’ve been looking into anti-spam measures, and we at i.PH eventually ended up with the built-in Nucleus CAPTCHA plugin.
But this anti-spam feature enforced by Sacha on her wiki-blog is pretty interesting:
NOTE: ANTI-SPAM MEASURE NOW IN PLACE. Please answer the
following question with the right number in order to send me your
comment.What is 1 + 1?
I guess she’d have to change this every so
often, and most likely also program her own system (email client?
wiki?) to accept only the correct answers. But it’s an innovative
way to filter out unwanted messages, methinks.
Next anti-spam question: Key in Pi up to a thousand decimal places.
