Spam prevention techniques

There are different types of spammers around the world who contaminate discussion boards, article directories, or the classifieds site with spam material. In this article we will analyze the different behaviors of spammers and how we can prevent them.

Typical spammers:

We can classify spam prevention techniques into the following categories.

  • Bad technical words
  • technical spam filter
  • technical email block

Bad technical words:

This is the simple technique used to hide the original spam words that appear on the website. In this technique you can define a rule to replace bad words with your desired words or signs. For example, if someone uses an offensive word, you can define a rule to censor those words with lines “………….” or “xxxxxxx”, and so on.

Technical spam filter:

This technique is mainly used to hide the post from users using spam words. In this technique a maximum number of words is defined. If that word count exceeds that post becomes inactive and most of the time, requires approval from the site administrator or moderators.

Technical blocking email:

Most of the time, spammers try to master the spam filter technique by putting a few extra characters along with the words. For example, if a spammer wants to post puppy sale ads on any classifieds site like muamat.com. he / she can use ** Puppy for sale ** or

Puppy for sale. In this way, they try to bypass the spam filter. To avoid this technique, you can define an email blocking technique. In this technique, you can define a list of email addresses and you can block the indicated address from publishing on your site.
