I'm thinking a "good behaviour" plugin would help here -- a new account needs to be followed by other non-spammers, and interact in non-spammy ways (baysian detected) before it makes it to the public time line. Over on that non-free laconica clone named Twitter, spammers are annoyances when they reply to people - same rules could apply. _______________________________________________ Laconica-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.laconi.ca/mailman/listinfo/laconica-dev
