  • The accident at night Aug 9, 2013

    The accident at night Aug 9, 2013

    At night on 09.08.2013 from 19:30 until 02:30 (GMT) was not available database of IP blacklist, Email, domain addresses. As a result of the specified time the efficiency of spam filtering was below the multiyear average. The most heavily accident affected users with modules phpBB3 version 3.5.10 and below, along with the WordPress 1.4.4 and below.

    The accident is caused by physical hang database. We have made several improvements on servers automatic moderation, in particular increased the lifetime of the data in a local cache server up to 12 hours (was 1 hour), it will allow to avoid similar accidents in the future.

    Thanks!

  • Policy changes for spam filtering

    Hello!
    In this week we have updated the automatically moderation servers. In the new version of the server software made 2 important changes.

    Offtopic tests
    Firstly, disabled offtopics filtering for message not containing spam. Let me remind you that these signs are – finding author in black lists, offline, JavaScript, suspiciously little time spent on writing the comment.

    In other words, a check of офтоп is included only for suspicious messages and aims to make an additional filter for cut-off spam messages.

    In the future we plan to enable the enable filtering офтопов including not spam messages, hope this option will be useful for large sites, forums, for which it is important to reduce the time of moderation-messages from site visitors.

    Spam filtering for suspended accounts
    The second important change is the policy of filtering spam in cases of suspending the account (either on a daily limit of approved requests tariff, or over the limit approved requests to a manual renewal).

    In the new version spam requests from suspended accounts are filtered in full, i.e. not limited extent. But if the registration is legitimate (approved by the service), then such registration will be sent to manual activation of account of the administration of the forum/site. If the message is not spam (approved by the service) it will be sent to the administration of the site/forum.

    Thus service CleanTalk protects the site from spam, regardless of the state of the service account, in cases of suspending the account owner of the site may have to manually activate the new accounts and approve the message, but it will also be delivered from the manual processing of spam account, messages.
