Component body

ZeroHammer is a simple comment moderation system that analyzes comments for spam domains, and auto-moderates offending posts.

Who this module is for:

In certain cases you will get spammers who have an actual person who repeatedly comes back and creates new accounts. This module blocks their ability to post the actual domain they are trying to link to, and thereby makes it more expensive for the spammer as they would have to go a step farther by repeatedly creating new domains, and as the module advances, new websites.

Meanwhile, this module makes it far less expensive/time-intensive for you to discover and remove this type of spam content, and it also lets you have a little fun frustrating spammers.

Features:

  • Auto-block users that post spam comments.
  • Replace spam comments with custom messages, for the lulz.

TODO:

  • Add a hook for custom spam/troll comment detection, along with custom response actions.Document in zerohammer.api.php
  • Get a report of domains posted in comments.
  • Automatically mark domains as spammy if they are posted by one user above a given threshold (ex. 5 times in one month).
  • Automatically demote users who posted a spam link, instead of blocking them.
