Spamcheck

Spamcheck is a simple gem which checks users and forum posts, comments and such for spam. It uses a Bayes like filtering system which can be configured to tailor your needs.

The spam filter can take some time to process, I suggest adding the check to background job!

The following checks are performed and awarded points accordingly:

DNS blacklist with RBL
Location of user (by IP)
Stopforumspam.com check
IP for fake hostname
Email domain and extension
Number of links in message
Number of messages for the user
The date when the last message was created
The date when the user was created

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'spamcheck'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install spamcheck

Settings

You can add the following code to a initializer or add it your worker:

## Example
Spamcheck.settings = { spam_score: 40, disabled_rules: ['stopforumspam', 'dnsblacklist', 'country'] }

Usage

You can use the gem with the following line:

user = { 
  'ip' => '{ ip address }',
  'email' => '{ email }',
  'created_at' => '{ date time}',
  'username' => '{ username }' }

context = {
  'title' => '{ Title }',
  'content' => '{ message }',
  'previous_created_at' => '{ date time}',
  'message_count' => '{ number }' }

Spamcheck.check(user, context)
