Hi,
Should we be adding 3 points for just this, or is there never a reason
users should be using /wp-admin in their URLs?
The score is coming out of RuleQA, so the score is derived empirically, not
by a logical process based in arbitrary axioms.
That doesn't mean it's the one true score for everyone, just that it's a
useful score in the context of the spam and ham corpora submitted to RuleQA.
If it causes actual FPs (i.e. ham that is identified as spam, NOT ham
identified as ham that happens to hit a strong spam rule but scores below the
threshold) then it is probably a good idea to limit its score in RuleQA or to
examine the FPs to find ways to narrow the rule. I see that John has the
basic rigging in place to allow for narrowing via meta conditions, so
presumably he anticipated the possibility.
Yup.
It's only hitting 80 spams and one ham in the current masscheck corpora.
If it *is* causing FPs, please report here it as such and I'll reduce the
score limit. It was hitting more when it was first created.
