Let's see if this does anything!
Noticing the Spam blacklist requests were piling up Aphaia & I started
working on the backlog and have got quite a bit done.
However we have encountered two issues which we would appreciate other
views on.
The use of the blacklist by non foundation wikis
This is probably best looked at/described here -
http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3ASpam_blacklist&diff=…
Views welcome?
The use of local blacklists & particularly en wp.
There is quite a bit of (valid) pressure to place some persistently
spammed domains into the Meta list. It appears en wp admins are
reluctant to use the local blacklist (why?). However - equally - the
validity of some of the domains is more than a little questionable.
Will
brass-fittings-brass-fittings.netfirms.com,
suntanning.com or
uk-metal-detectors .co.uk be likely to be useful to the foundation?
Before I find myself in a(nother) argument views would be welcome or
equally a better place to post? Giving this list a "start" seemed an
idea!
Cheers
