hi vaughan.
Thank you for the advice

I know the new user will feel inconvenience.
But I guess:
*A visitor can wait my slow answer
She/he can wait 60 minutes for posting.
And the filter rejects just literals like URL
eg)
http://...
bbcodes [ url]
www.(domain))
She/he can post without such URLs within 60 minutes.
And their purpose can be achived without URLs.
* human SPAMMERS
She/he cannot wait 60 minutes.
And their purpose can not be achived without URLs.
Anyway, I have to test the filter in a practice site.

Quote:I know it too.
Running the filter in this site is an important experiment for all CMS Users.
Including ImpressCMS, of course
Even with the filter, a SPAM was posted by hand.
However, the filter has blocked three SPAMs -the same kind of- at least in this week.
I estimate I have to continue the experiment some months.
Thank you for the advice

i applaud your continued developments into this, & good luck in trying to reduce this further. though I feel you're fighting a losing battle in relation to human spammers as opposed to bots.
i don't think there's much anybody can do to prevent a human spammer except plenty of vigilance. i don't think disabling posts for 60 minutes will solve it unfortunately, though it's a sure inconvenience to them, it is also an inconvenience to those legitimate users who registered.

i guess thats 1 of the hardest things to weigh up in our fight against spam, spam protection vs user inconvenience, where do you draw the line? tough decisions.
