Subject: Spam comments
Recently, I've noticed an increase in the amount of spam coming through the OASIS comment form: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/comments/form.php?wg_abbrev=xxx Is anything being done to address this problem? Could comments be subjected to moderation by staff or at least to some form of CAPTCHA[*] to limit bot-driven spam? Be seeing you, norm * I have some resevations about CAPTCHAs as they tend to discriminate against users with certain kinds of disabilities, but surely this is a problem that's been addressed. Asking commenters to answer a simple math question (like the sum of two randomly generated single digit numbers) would probably be sufficient, at least in the short term, to address the problem. -- Norman Walsh XML Standards Architect Sun Microsystems, Inc.
