This page is here to form a ConsensusGroup about anti-spam measures within the MeatBall community, and to document measures already in place within the MeatballWiki script. Most blocked edits are logged: see all [http://www.usemod.com/meatball/blocked-edits IPs who've had edits blocked in the last 28 days].

== MB Defenses ==

* Anything matching <tt>a href="http://</tt> in the digest is always blocked.
* Anything matching <tt>style="display:<nowiki></nowiki> none</tt> is always blocked.
* Any post that adds a URL to a page must pass a simple HumanVerification test
* All posts must have a non-empty digest (to block certain botnets)
* All POST operations must be done from the same IP as the corresponding GET: see EditHash

== Dissolving the ConsensusGroup ==

The spam problem is solved, at least for now. I suggest we dissolve the consensus group and turn this page into a simple list of what anti-spam measures are in place on MeatballWiki. We can then use this as a reference for future MB scripts.

As a final act of the group, I propose we remove the two "anything matching..." rules above, as a quick scan of the blocked edits log reveals they are not being triggered anyway.

Any objections to either proposal? 3 March is the SilentAgreement deadline. -- ChrisPurcell
