Author: TomH By the way we sort of already do the first (in that having edits is a plus point in the spam scoring algorithm) and the other two are probably not where I would start in adding extra anti-spam features. My first steps would be add a moderation infrastructure, with a queue of things needing to be looked at and a set of people authorised to do the moderation; and then to add a "report" button which would send something to the moderation queue. After that I would add code to track who had reported each item, and to automatically hide things until the moderator had reviewed them if enough independent reports were received for it. |

Author: osm[at]gravitystorm.co.uk We've been doing a lot of work on fighting diary spam, and there's a wide range of actions already completed and even more still to do. I don't think this particular ticket needs to stay open, but more specific requests can be made over at https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website |

Would it be possible to implement a restriction that requires user accounts to fulfill one of these in order to make a diary post or for it to be published:
I think the blog is a great marketing tool to expand the community, but this spam which also ends up in the feeds (which I think are important) and then for example on Twitter really hurts those efforts.
