[Icecast-dev] Track ticket system - spam filtering
Hi, we've had multiple false positives recently with our spam filter. The system should never get in the way of legitimate users, so I went and tweaked the settings based on what I saw in the logs. It should now be less aggressive in refusing submissions that contain code snippets or XML/HTML. Those tend to score higher on the bayesian filter, apparently due to similarity to the spam HTML. As spam tends to score much higher than those false positives, I've rebiased the scoring to account for that. There might be some false negatives in the near future, so if you see spam on trac, please let me know directly. Cheers Thomas
