Fighting spam the big iron way
It looks like the wp guy is brewing some new mechanism to battle spam.
All of the solutions I saw so far used one of the methods:
- special interaction ie captcha, embedded keys in form
- detection algorithm ie filters, blacklist
- manual intervention ie human approval
The widely used one for Nucleus these days are NP_Blacklist, NP_CommentControl, NP_Captcha, and a few.
This new ASS idea is very different than the current crop of methods, mostly autonomy. Spam detection in ASS is done in a centralize server, which tell the blog whether the submit comment is spam or not.
Of course this raise a lot of concerns such as on how this method scale and response to things like privacy, which is yet to see.
Currently, there is a NP_SpamCheck being worked on, which provide an infrastructure to allow customize spam detection.
