Re: spam protection for user notes

Okay, posting to php-notes@ would be another solution. But on the other hand: Why don't we check the submitted notes for specific words that are only used in SPAM messages in the first place and mark them as suspicious on php-notes@? So the SPAM-Protection is transparent and finding possible unwanted messages is easier. Note weeding in the current form is really not that comfortable. An interface where you can see all newly submitted notes that have not been rejected or deleted (or verified) already would safe a lot of time. That way, every message gets reviewed.

Hmm, you are completely right. But it's still not that accessible for our fellow programmers who are visually impaired.

I have 4961 messages in my PHP-Notes box that I simply haven't had the motivation to check. Note weeding is a tedious and thankless task, so I'm all-for tools that will make this easier. I like the CSS CAPTCHA, but it seems relatively easy to break. If we do go to a non-handicap-friendly (pardon my use of the word "handicap" if it's not PC this week) solution, we could always add a note along the lines of "Note to the visually impaired: this form contains spam protection in the form of a CAPTCHA image. We're sorry that this is inconvenient for you. To submit a note, please send email to php-notes@lists.php.net, and we would be happy to handle the note submission for you." to the submission form. The volume here would be minimal. S
