Gareth Heyes has posted about a new plugin he's created , spam protection for his WordPress blog  - SpamBam.   The latest plugin uses my PHP/JS randomisation techniques to create a key and protect against spam. I've took this bold move to see what affect it has and if the blog spammers will get round it because it no longer uses javascript cookies.   His plugin includes features including a lack of cookie use, delay on spammers (slows spam scripts) and doesn't use CAPTCHAs. You can also check out this section on Gareth's blog for the latest on the plugin.

Sam blogs about his wiki spam problems  and implements a posting throttle.  With new spam-capable zombie PCs and with wikis that aren't updated very often this isn't a solution.  If I were to go back to my wiki after a month it would be covered with spam links.  One strong solution is emergent and distributed social whitelists (AKA my FOAFKey  proposal).  With a FOAFKey enabled wiki/weblog you could allow a whitelist of a few hundred thousand users to post to the wiki without any problems.  All they would need to enter is their email address for confirmation (or the SHA1 hash of their email).  For the rare times when the user isn't within the original whitelist we can just have the user uplo ...
