I've moved on one wiki to a much SMALLER blocklist (mainly IP ranges that are unlikely to post anything but spam to my site and "the top words & phrases most likely to be spam posts") + limiting new links to 5. It seems to be working so far, and pages save much faster. I have a couple years worth of attempted spam logged, so I've gotten to periodically look at what posts were blocked by the skin of their teeth (Score = 1) and all of those were invariably caught by mentioning the name of a popular male-enhancement med. So when I trimmed the list, that's one that definitely stayed on.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>I got exceptionally frustrated with drug names that are parts of normally occurring words and don't want to actually USE my regex feature :) Soon I'll adopt that method across my open-edit sites.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Are you going to just remodel my code which is a remodel of your code, or are you re-writing it from scratch?</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Thanks,</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Crisses</DIV></BODY></HTML>
