Nearly 40% spam makes this site unpleasant to check on daily basis. Spam issue was already mentioned by moderators in this post, but I have a feeling that it is getting progressively worse.
Ideas?
- First posts from new accounts should have captcha.
- Posting through API should not be available for new accounts until they make 3 posts from web interface.
- Limited exposure, posts from new accounts should be shown for small percent of users and shown to rests if not flagged by control group within 2 hours.
