• Recaptcha on the reg page/review form


• A configurable timeout period between being able to submit reviews (per user)

I may be able to do the question thing also but not sure if I can make it random. Would at least be able to be changed at any time to something new.]]> Graveyard HPFanFicArchive.Com https://efiction.org/community/graveyard/additional-anti-spam-review-measures-for-3-5-5/#post-20514 https://efiction.org/community/graveyard/additional-anti-spam-review-measures-for-3-5-5/#post-3560 Sat, 08 Oct 2016 19:57:41 +0000
Right now, I have it set up so users are sent their passwords, I have Bad Behavior installed, and I added this mod so that admins get an email alert when there's a new registration.

This is all a huge help, but the occasional mass spammer still gets through. The spammer I had get through today while I was asleep had a rather normal looking username, a kind of odd but possibly legit email and their IP address didn't turn up any red flags when I searched it, in other words even if I had seen the registration notice at the time, I really wouldn't have had any way of knowing it was a spammer until they posted reviews.

I wanted to make another plea for somehow setting it up so users need to be a validated reviewer before their stuff is published (much like how authors need to be validated for their stories to show up).

I know one archive that has a spam/security question set up, new users have to answer a fandom specific question or their registration will be denied, does anyone know how to set up such a thing on the registration form?

Any other anti-spam measure out there?]]> Graveyard LD-MTT https://efiction.org/community/graveyard/additional-anti-spam-review-measures-for-3-5-5/#post-3560
