Spam Control Mod
I'm developing a solution to my boss and wondering how many of you out there have to deal with post new links spamming.
I think I have relatively simple solution but need a motivation to go on.
I already developed a more complicated (and costly) one but if there is people interest, the later is easy to implement.
Are you interested?

Hi,

The best way we have found, is an image verification feature.

You can also do more advanced things, such as blocking specific domain's from posting links, etc - but the image verification one is a lot easier IMO =)

Hope that helps

Cheers

Andy's solution is simple to install and maintain. Basically is CAPTCHA implementation which is very effective.
Mine will require modifications at the code level and job redone after any upgrade.

Andy, do you use GD or pre-made images?

The latest version uses GD, and generates the images on the fly :) (thus how they are different each time, to make it impossible for a spider to "read" the charachters)
