Ragnar, the devRant anti spam service is ready!
Down voting is implemented now. Will see at next spam message, what will be soon. They're crazy lately.
The anti spam service is added to systemd to one of my powerful servers. I promise that it will be more reliable than my LLM.
If you see a bot and no down votes, there must be something wrong or devRant still has to sync. Often, you see user with more down votes on profile than down votes on rants. Such scenario can happen.
That was it! Only some fine tuning left based on words / regex.
Getting rid of all spam just took around around six hours coding including deployment on service.
I hope it's appreciated.29 -
Spam filter update!
You now all can control the bots.
Suspicious post count of user + suspicious comments is now blocked too! Like here: https://devrant.com/rants/11507563/...
Also, if some one is spamming, just say @ragnar in the comments and the spam bots will come to help in less than a minute.
I used @ragnar, since that's the name of the anti spam system but it was already an existing use. He left dR, so fuck him! :)
Don't abuse the power guys.11 -
I always wanted to post something under the devrant tag.
I've worked on the anti spam bots! End result: one process handling four bots that down votes users with a low upvote count having certain content. What that certain content is, is still to be defined / fine tuned. Now it has very minimal criteria but it did successfully flag all spam posts tonight. Down vote function is not ready yet - I did not know what value to post. Probably @feuerherz / @Lensflare can provide that to me.
Not my best source ever, it's made quite quickly and it literally started with c/p-ing stuff from everywhere like several devrant clients on github to make one complete one. They all sucked :P
I hope to finish this project tomorrow night and it will be then of spam as far as I've seen how effective they are.

Review regarding code quality isn't needed for this one, since I've spent zero effort regarding quality. But tips about how to recognize scammers even better is highly appreciated. A review on other projects on molodetz would be appreciated btw, especially on C stuff.
