English session
Drawing on experiences of running large websites and blogs, this
session will discuss numerous tactics that you can use to keep spammers
and gamers at bay. Removing comment spam, stopping people from
artificially inflating the rank of items on voting sites, and so on will
be discussed. Some specific technologies and how to interface with them
will be mentioned, but also generic discussions of base theory, that you
can use to apply to your own website where you see fit.
