In the spam filter police for registrations/comments added changes, now if a request there are no data for multiple antispam tests, the requests considered as spam, the server returns response,
*** User forbidden. Check plugin setup. Request number 412dfcd6925edac260874365f9f3fcf6. Antispam service cleantalk.org. ***
Please do dummy registrations/comments with email st********@ex*****.com, you shouldn’t see plugin response as described agove.
In the Control Panel added new features,
1. Export query to the service in CSV format.
2. Disabling/enabling determine optopol in the comments.
If the setting is on, the service will check the relevance of the new comment concerning article, or previous comments article (topic). Comments have not passed the specified check will be send to the manual moderation.
The algorithm for spam filtering has new exceptions for links to photo hostings and tiny-urls web-sites. For example, links to sites such as img.gd, goo.gl bit.ly etc. will be ignored when determining the links to spam active web sites.
The type of the web site – blog, forum, photo hosting, tiny url and etc. is determined automatically by analyzing the structure of HTTP links.
Innovation will reduce the number of messages sent to the moderators of websites.
From 24 February till 24 March 2014 for all packages are disabled daily limits of approved “registrations/comments”.
We are testing the new tariff policy, we hope to use it in the future on a permanent basis for all customers of the service.
Enhanced server spam checks.
In the new version JavaScript test of the visitor is the obligatory condition, if the test failed, or present the results of the execution, the server will warn the visitor and ban comment. An example of a warning,
*** Forbidden. Enable JavaScript. Request number 0b1edb025e80c7ba6aa21fb6d551b9d0. Anti-spam service cleantalk.org. ***
We recommend to send test comment on your websites!
Today enhanced server-side validation signups on spam.
If the site visitor failed JavaScript test, or present the results of the execution, the server will warn you and will deny registration. An example of a warning
*** User forbidden. Please enable JavaScript. Request number 52fe10427d8bf5e658d081a259b970c2. Antispam service cleantalk.org. ***
We recommend to check signups on your website!
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.
Today we’ve upgraded Automatic moderation servers, the new version (2.19.98) has feature of automatic learning preferences of the owner of the site in the following cases:
Changes on item by point 1 are available in all versions of the client, the changes on item point 2 plug-ins are available in WordPress since version 1.4.4.
