I wonder why Drupal is getting more spam than other sites. ?

cv-plz offsite stackoverflow.com/questions/29604470/…

Unihedron

@JonasCz It's a honeypot :p

To be more serious, it's probably true that with the quality of the questions already on site cough cough, the bayesian bag for "acceptable" questions are pretty low

so more spam goes through, unlike on other sites where so many are blocked off before they're posted

JonasCz

@Unihedron, Makes sense. Maybe marginal / slightly spammy questions which the filter is not sure of could be hidden until they go through a review queue.., but surely a bayesian filter should be able to detect obvious spam, esp. if it contains words like "fat" , "sex",...

Jan Dvorak

I can't think of any false positives

Unihedron

@JonasCz 90% of the spam is caught up before they land on the site. The system works as-is; the ones that make it through are the tip of the iceberg, it isn't worth the effort to catch up "potential" spam just before they make it out of the first posts queue or community effort.

It's more effective to just reject the spam instead of passing them into a queue, anyway. :P

Detecting spam isn't something that must require human spectulation.
