Ogawa::Hacks

Of course I'm addicted to using SpamLookup 2.0, but its Keyword Filter doesn't recognize regular expressions with multi-bytes strings and Unicode properties/blocks/scripts which are supported by Perl 5.8. Therefore it's not easy to train SpamLookup for rejecting comment/trackback spams in foreign languages, especially in asian languages.

The following is a patch for enabling Unicode support in SpamLookup 2.0.

SpamLookup2.0-encode.patch

If you are using a Linux box, it is easy to apply. Just download or copy it into your MT directory and type as follows:

patch -p0 < SpamLookup2.0-encode.patch

Once you applied this patch, you could write regular expressions enpowered by Unicode support, as Keyword Filter rules.

For example, to reject comments/trackbacks with Hiragana strings, just as follows:

/\p{Hiragana}+/

Or to accept only Latin-1 comments/trackbacks, you can do as follows:

/^[^\x00-\xff]+$/

An MT 3.2 JunkFilter plugin for rejecting duplicated and/or repeated trackbacks from the same source URLs. These kind of trackbacks seem to be spams or caused by authors' mistakes.

DuplicatedTBPingLookup.zip

"Duplicated TBPing Lookup Plugin" is a JunkFilter plugin which is a building block of The Feedback Rating System in Movable Type 3.2. This plugin checks whether incoming trackbacks are duplicated and/or repeated ones from the same source URL, and if so, treats them as negative trackbacks.

To install the plugin, just copy DuplicatedTBPingLookup.pl into your plugins directory. This plugin allows you to change the score weight for negative trackbacks from the plugin configuration screen.

The development version is also available from http://code.as-is.net/viewvc/mt/DuplicatedTBPingLookup/trunk/.
