Re: Spammer from moderation queue P0mpeyBoy13-Jul-15 1:03 P0mpeyBoy 13-Jul-15 1:03  if you put the words they are using e.g. iPhone erasing software in your message, are you not making the filters jobs a lot harder? i.e. now they have two messages with that phrase in, 1 good, 1 bad? Just wondering... Re: Spammer from moderation queue OriginalGriff13-Jul-15 1:17 OriginalGriff 13-Jul-15 1:17  That's where the summary info for the auto spam detector comes in handy! It lets you pick the phrase without hitting the "targets" the heuristics used to spot it. Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay... Re: Spammer from moderation queue P0mpeyBoy13-Jul-15 23:51 P0mpeyBoy 13-Jul-15 23:51  I think you miss the point. The idea is you shouldn't have to manually decide if a message is spam or not, the filters should do it. Re: Spammer from moderation queue OriginalGriff14-Jul-15 0:12 OriginalGriff 14-Jul-15 0:12  No, the idea is that we act as a "override" - allowing messages the filter thinks are spam through without letting the dross in as well. The hamsters tried a "fully automated system" last year IIRC and it wouldn't let anything into the lounge! Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay... Re: Spammer from moderation queue P0mpeyBoy14-Jul-15 0:47 P0mpeyBoy 14-Jul-15 0:47  yes but it should learn and put less and less into the queue? Re: Spammer from moderation queue OriginalGriff14-Jul-15 0:53 OriginalGriff 14-Jul-15 0:53  Well...yes and no. It shouldn't delete stuff - that has to be under human (or as close to human as some of us can get) control. It's difficult for a human to tell what is and isn't spam when it's code like words and a link but that could easily be a valid answer to a question, or an attempt as a question itself. And it does have some "false positives" so a human needs to review them. But...it also lets some stuff through that is spam, so it needs to learn and improve - which it should it's heuristic, Mathew says. And if we don't review it and say "this is spam" then the member doesn't get killed either becasue we don't know who they are! Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
