Description Cenarium 2014-11-14 13:01:20 UTC
It would be helpful to know if the user recently hit the spam blacklist. For example, to detect spammers trying to get around it or moving to other urls. I think this should be feasible now that there's a log of spam blacklist hits.

Helpful for who exactly? The user her/himself?
Comment 2 Cenarium 2014-11-18 01:35:15 UTC
Ok, that wasn't clear. I mean that it should be an abusefilter variable like article_recent_contributors. Let's call this variable users_having_recently_hit_the_spamblacklist.

Example filter :

!("autoconfirmed" in user_groups) & 
(article_namespace == 0) & 
(user_name in users_having_recently_hit_the_spamblacklist) & 
(old_size > 0) &
(count("http://", string(added_lines)) > count("http://", string(removed_lines)))

This will detect all users having recently hit the spamblacklist and adding a new link. Those new links are most often inappropriate as well, or the content added is problematic.
