1. lnxw48 StatusNet

   Taking a #spam-patrol sweep through the !sn forum. About 2200 spammers caught in the spam trap.

     @lnxw48 ha! but there were spammers right from the start there - have any anti-spam tools/plugins/etc been installed?

     @mk Yes, the forum has anti-spam tools installed. Presently most spam sign-ups are immediately diverted into the spam trap (which I have to empty, ten accounts at a time).

     @lnxw48 ok, that's something! but the "10 at a time" sounds rather suboptimal ;-)

     @mk Really suboptimal. Each group of 10 spammers takes 3 clicks to delete.

     @lnxw48 could this be scripted?

   • lnxw48 Tcl language and Tk toolkit , mk

     @mk Possibly. I know I’ve seen sequences of clicks scripted in the #Windows world, as long as application being clicked puts things in the same place each time. Maybe the !tcltk #expect application could do that. (I’ve been wanting an excuse to explore Expect.)

     @lnxw48 there are Firefox addons for automagically clicking buttons, filling in text boxes, etc.
