I'd like to ask for people's reviews on what we are doing here at Orain to stop spammers. [[User:Tau Ceti|Tau Ceti]] ([[User talk:Tau Ceti|talk]]) 22:34, 24 February 2015 (GMT)
:On a matter of principle ("innocent until proven guilty"), I believe that Orain shouldn't assume that any user attempting to submit a link to an external webpage must be a spambot. Statements submitted to [[Forum:Annule_blocking_ip_address]] show that the filter is having an adverse effect on the experiences of new users. I also believe that Orain should prioritize new user experience above anti-spam measures.
:Orain should also improve its interactions with new and inexperienced users. At [[Forum:Annule_blocking_ip_address]], Orain staff spend more time criticizing or nagging new or inexperienced users instead of helping with the problems being mentioned. I see Orain staff spending more time nagging inexperienced users to log-in or sign their post or looking into the edit histories of critics than resolving the problem that the inexperienced user wants solved.
:The filter should be made accessible to the public on a matter of principle ("security through obsurity" is wrong) and to aid in the constructive criticism of the filter. In addition, if the filter is to remain, then [https://meta.orain.org/w/index.php?title=Forum%3AAnnule_blocking_ip_address&diff=12349&oldid=12344 a message should be adopted] in order to enhance the new user experience. --[[User:Michaeldsuarez|Michaeldsuarez]] ([[User talk:Michaeldsuarez|talk]]) 02:43, 25 February 2015 (GMT)
