At HubPages we’ve been attacked by spam posts, comment spam, email spam, fake profiles, and let’s not forget forum spam. If you can spam it, we’ve been hit.
This has been a huge tax on us. We’ve also been working on partnerships with other companies in the social networking category. The larger they are, the worse spam problem they have.
We’ve tried running pieces of it through akismet, but the false positives are too high.
What we need is an excellent piece of spam detection designed for social networks. With how many resources go into moderating communities and enforcing rules this would be a no-brainer for us.
