    Please review and let me know what you think.

    Also, as part of this project I went through and commented the phorum
    backend API, and I've managed to get those changes back into the
    phorum repository (see forwarded email below).

  • Hi Paul,

    How do you envision handling spam messages? Does Phorum have a plugin
    architecture for allowing various methods of controlling comment spam? I
    don't think banning a user is going to be enough to stop comment spam.

    Personally, I absolutely _love_ the Spam Karma 2 plugin for Wordpress,
    which uses a number of criteria for determining whether a comment is
    legitimate or not such as whether the user's browser supports Javascript,
    whether the comment text includes multiple URLs, whether it includes words
    on a blacklist, etc.

    Ideally, we'd be able to just hook up some of these existing plugins to
    our setup. But I don't know how far from reality that is.

  • There is a gotcha plugin for phorum. That could weed out a lot of spam.
