I have several friends that own some pretty big TGP's
and as you know the biggest prob with a TGP is maintenance..
Checking galleries/checking for bullshit.
Out of every 100 galleries posted about 60 are OK (well..
posted with good intentions and some intelligence) 10
are faulty (bad link or other errors) en 30%
is simple spam cq people trying to fuck it up.
Since they all use custom TGP scripts they
asked me to think of some simple front end
that would eliminate the 30% down to 10%. Would save
them alot of time.
So we brainstormed for a while and figured
out some intelligent fuzzy logic strategies on how we could
filter out those spam/faulty submissions.
But hey.. i'm a lazy motherfucker and implemented a
couple simple rules to see what effect it would
have in percentages..
3 things:
- Check if the submitted URL contains more than 3 /'s.
- Check if no special characters like ^&*$#@ are used.
- Check if the description string doenst consist of
captitol chars only.
It's running live since 3 days now and these simple
rules bring down the spam element from 30 to 3% ;-)
I mean.. spammers are reading this board.. challenge
me.. do something about it.. because this is pathetic..
really..
allright. just having fun.. signing off..
