Stop spam in comments, resources etc. #39

Closed sijbrandij closed 10 years ago

sijbrandij commented 10 years ago

The comments table had about 8000 rows of spam comments. We need to figure out a way of stopping spam (maybe only allowing comments from signed in users, or setting up a recaptcha) from clogging the system.

Less cool than building your own commenting system, but what about disqus?

I know and have used Disqus. It works fine, but for the sake of learning I'd say we build our own commenting system :)

Another idea is to integrate with Akismet or build your own learning spam filter that learns what spam looks like when people mark a comment/resource as spam.
