Comment 3 for bug 1252101

Since deploying this to Mahara.org on Nov 18, we've seen only one spam forum post (which as Kristina mentioned, didn't include any links).

And since deploying the expansion on Nov 21, I've seen only one spam Page. It was shared with Logged-In users, but not with Public, because the user was still probationary. I suspect that it's a spammer who created the page and then realized only afterwards that they couldn't make it visible to the outside world.

At some point we should set someone looking through all the user accounts to delete the spam ones, though. I went and looked through all the wall posts created in November 2013 and found that there were 42 accounts created during that month whose sole content consisted of a spam wall post on their own profile page's wall. This was all before Nov 21 when I blocked external links in wall posts, so that's about 2 accounts per day.

Overall in November 2013 there were 970 user accounts created, of which we suspended 94 for being spammers (nearly all of them before Nov 21).
