Add configurable list of URLs to auto-delete #2

Closed philipcmonk closed 7 years ago

philipcmonk commented 7 years ago

Would be nice to be able to add specific URLs that are banned from a Slack. Specifically, on the Numerai Slack, scammers have been posting n-u-m-e-r-a-i.t-e-c-h (without the hyphens), which is a look-alike of the Numerai website that asks for your private keys.

What about a white list instead? Scammers always come with new domains, so might be easier to whitelist some websites and delete everything else.

What do you think?

philipcmonk commented 7 years ago

The problem is that we don't want to limit links to just a few urls. What if we block all domains that are similar to a few specified domains, where "similar" could be a combination of a regex and a hamming distance check (if the part before the TLD is 3 or fewer changes away from the real domain, for example).

PhABC commented 7 years ago

Yeah that could work, although people will always find workaround. What I was thinking was that if someone post from unknown domain, they get a private message explaining they should ask a mod to whitelist the website. Could add a bot function that whitelist it.
