ebXML XML.org: spam prevention

["Carol Geyer" <carol.geyer@oasis-open.org>]

Quick progress report:

1.  Neil is currently installing the Drupal spam module on ebXML XML.org. It:

* automatically unpublishes posts containing too many URIs. (We've set this for
6, but can change it.)

* automatically unpublishes posts containing too many of the same URI. (We've
set this for 3, but can change it.)

* automatically unpublishes duplicate content (the same content posted more
than twice to the site). 

* automatically blocks users who post two instances of identified spam.
 
* allows users to mark content as spam (through a link at the bottom of the
page). 

* notifies users when their content has been identified as spam (so they can
appeal if there's a mistake).

* notifies site admins of identified spam and provides an easy interface for
restoring. Content identified as spam that isn't restored within two weeks is
automatically deleted.
