Fighting with bots and spammers 🥊
by Piotr BartoszekIn the last weeks, we invested some time to build a solid admin panel for Owwly and fight with spammers which decrease quality of our service.
We realised lastly that a lot of accounts with poor content signing up with Twitter from outlook domain. This pattern repeated so often. When someone advertises on your website:
Yachts
Jeans
Sanitary pads….
it’s time to react.
(Dear bot’s creator, shame on you!)
We decided to change that and from now, all posts are revised by us.
I am so happy with this big step forward, caring about quality was always crucial for us. I hope that users will appreciate that.

Hi Piotr, sounds like you solved your problem, but we had a similar issue and implemented a Recaptcha which solved a lot of issues. I've also in the past implemented verification codes via email and that works well.
This way user content gets through in real time

User-created content should be moderated. The thing is, when there are a lot of posts on queue, it may take forever to filter them out. (queue-skipping-paywal-intensifies) :D :D :D
