How about a ‘trust/dont trust’ mechanism – for example, every time a blacklist entry is wrong (ie the blacklist says a comment is spam, when it is ham), you mark it as such, and then blacklist entries submitted by the same users are given less importance by your blogging system in the future, so that spammers COULD still, in theory, try to disrupt the system, but users wouldn’t give any effect to their ratings – in the same way that such modifications to P2P file sharing programs stopped the copyright cartels disrupting the networks with poison files.
An avid fan of business, education, technology and finance. I lead a lean, highly focussed and capable team of Java Back End developers and Front End developers through a maze of complex software wizardry to fulfill the web maintenance needs of a large chemical manufacturer. As per Myers-Briggs Personality Types, I am an ESTJ. I pride in a project completed on time and according to plan. My hobbies include all kinds of technology, anything that I can taste and anything that goes fast or flies in the air. I like to read business books and comics in my spare time.
Wouldn’t such a solution be itself flooded by spammers hoping to dilute the filtering system?
