I'd like to ask for people's reviews on what we are doing here at Orain to stop spammers. 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 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 obsurity" is wrong) and to aid in the constructive criticism of the filter. In addition, if the filter is to remain, then a message should be adopted in order to enhance the new user experience. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 02:43, 25 February 2015 (GMT)
