July 2014 Site Patch

Matt
Matt
3 Jul 2014

Last night we deployed a patch release which contains a some features and fixes we wanted to fast-track onto the site before our next full release (which is due towards the end of the month). Here's what we've deployed;

 

  • Extension to our automated anti-spam feature
  • Extension to the 'Report to Moderator' feature which members can use to report spam
  • Fix to RoadTest date display

 

Our next release will include the 3rd set of anti-spam enhancements, one of which adds 'Report to Moderator' to the Activity Stream.

    Well done Matt and others. The spam activity was certainly reduced. Obviously it can't stop everything, without catching other users. So onto the next deployment and you'll find they'll stop trying. Thanks…

    Many thanks for the updates. Also I have definitely noticed less SPAM activity this week, so something is working right. DAB

    Phew! We've put a lot of effort into the code and I'm glad it appears to be working. The automated filter intercepted (and disabled) 5 accounts over the weekend & we're keeping an eye on how it's working…

    Phew! We've put a lot of effort into the code and I'm glad it appears to be working. The automated filter intercepted (and disabled) 5 accounts over the weekend & we're keeping an eye on how it's working so that we can tweak the settings if we need to.

     

    Thanks for your patience!

     

    Matt.

    Thanks for the update about what you're doing.

     

    The weekend is usually when they hit (and show under Activity) so we will see if it helps, and we can sue the added features.

    I agree with DAB, seems whatever you are doing it is working.
