Anti-Spam

I hate Spam. Running a lot of websites I have come to loath spam and spammers.

As such there are a few rules that links on this wiki must follow to avoid getting thier IP traced and reported to their ISP.

  • No links inside 1px div tags.
  • No links to porn, meds, dating or other often spammed to sites.
  • No spammy words
  • links should be related directly to the subject matter and should be limited in number
  • the subject matter must belong on the page it has been placed into
  • the page should belong within the site

you can link here as much as you link!

If you read Fighting the Good Fight you will be able to read about Lord Matt's epic anti spam undoing via Google. This unique spam identifier allowed massive removal of spam but also allowed identification of spammed media wiki's.

The basic message Lord Matt left when he unspammed the spam:
I appologise if I just killed any of your content but this page was Spammed (although much was hidden with a 1px div) (check the diffs to see). A key marker used by the spammers caused your wiki to show up within google.com for a non word used by the spam bot - the spam bot changes the spam links daily using the marker which it incriments to show which links are yet to be added to your history... it benifits them as histories do autolink (it turns out) but it is still a mean thing to do. On my wiki I banned all the IPs used to reduce the chances of more. It mainly hits the help page and the main page. (feel free to remove this message) --Lord Matt 11:05, 27 Oct 2005 (CDT) Lord Matt
one rather hopes that the wiki owners will be alerted to the 1px trick that spammers have been using to hide spam within wiki's...

This spam discovery has led to lots of research on the behalf of Lord Matt and as such has led to lots of ideas and new knowledge.


[edit] Anti Spam Links

Our plan was to chongq all spammy links (from this page) with the spammy link words thus making the spammers task of improved Google Rank harder than ever. With hindsight we have found making a chongq page for each attack a better idea.

To chongq a spammy word link it like this [http://spammers.chongqed.org/spammyword spammyword] in the list below or else where on the wiki.

NB Early chongq attempts were the wrong format and some may remain.

The result is that we out-rank the spammers and ruin their spammy words with links to sites unmasking them!
