We are now spam testing on Questions2Answers Q&A Platform.
As usual, it started out with a few legitimate questions to build search engine ranking and to get noticed.
The platform can be seen here:
https://zylblog.com/answers/
Current settings require a CAPTCHA (using ReCaptcha) OR email verification. All the rest of the spam limit settings are the defaults of the platform.
We will also introduce SMF spam testing again on two new addresses (although this could get a little messy on resources, we’ll see what we can do…)
One will be at the old address, with no mechanisms to stop spam. (zylblog.com/smf … not yet set up at this time)
One will be at a random address with no spam prevention mechanisms (to see how long it takes for the address to be discovered). Our robots.txt will block the address from search engine results, but there will be a link to the address on this blog to see if spambots do much of their own indexing or not.
