: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 posts 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 obsurityobscurity" 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)

::::Recent technical issues distracted me from working on better anti-spam measures too. Some problems ([[tech:Incidents#February_2015|This list]] describes the most important ones, but that list is not complete) with out servers needed my attention first, as it is my responsibility to keep all servers running normally.
::::Instead of just saying that we /all/ are doing wrong things, please let us know how we can improve our anti-spam setup - because I'm sure that if people do so, we can make everyone happy. All configuration for all services on all servers is public at [https://github.com/Orain/ansible-playbook GitHub], and the anti-spam settings of the anti-spam extensions can all be found [https://github.com/Orain/ansible-playbook/blob/master/roles/mediawiki/files/localsettings/LocalSettings.php.j2 here].

:::::Thanks for the information. It's nice to hear that someone within Orain is actually interested in removing the filter, even if you can't guarantee you. Keep up the good work. Aside from what I've already suggested [https://meta.orain.org/w/index.php?title=Forum%3AAnnule_blocking_ip_address&diff=12349&oldid=12344], [https://meta.orain.org/w/index.php?title=Forum%3AAnnule_blocking_ip_address&diff=12355&oldid=12350], [https://meta.orain.org/w/index.php?title=Forum%3AAnti-spam_measures&diff=12503&oldid=12501]), I don't have anything else specific to suggest. Thanks for the help. --[[User:Michaeldsuarez|Michaeldsuarez]] ([[User talk:Michaeldsuarez|talk]]) 13:18, 25 February 2015 (GMT)
