Hi guys,<br><br>The spam on users' diaries and users' pages is getting quite annoying. Some user just now flooded the main diary page with drug ads. Using rel=nofollow is apparently not much of a deterrent.<br><br>
I think one really effective way of dealing with this is to reject addition of a user description or a diary entry if the user is quite new and has no OSM edits yet. This would correspond to the Wikipedia user without the autoconfirmed bit set yet.<br>
<br>What do you guys think?<br><br>(Then again, it may be that the sysads can currently handle the volume now so this change in the site software is not needed.)<br><br><br>Eugene (osm:seav)<br>
