spam in projects links

Links pages for a lot of projects are spammed. I removed some of them, but it will not scale. You should remove them server side and introduce some spam filtering. (Wikipedia once had (has?) extensive list of spammer domains)

Hi Marcin,

Yes, we've seen an increase specifically in link spam lately. I'm of the personal opinion that much of the spam on Ohloh is the work of a few individuals, and it seems they have changing strategies in how they spam us.

We do have the ability to bulk-undo all edits by a user, which is handy for taking care of these spammers once we find them.

Until we get some better spam handling in place, you can send us email if you find some particularly aggressive spam, and we have some pretty good tools to clean it up on our end.

Thanks,
Robin
