Dealing with spam in this forum

Hi all

Recently we've had a few spam emails that have made it through Google's
filters, and there have been a calls for us to change to a
moderate-first-post policy. I am reluctant to adopt this policy for the
following reasons:

We get about 30 new users every day from all over the world, many of whom
are early in their learning phase and are quite stuck - they need help as
soon as possible. Fortunately this list is very active and helpful. In
contrast, we've only ever banned 34 users from the list for spamming. So
making new users wait for timezones to swing their way feels like a heavy
handed solution to a small problem. Yes, spammers are annoying but they are
a small minority on this list.

Instead, we have asked 10 of our long standing members to help us with
banning spammers. This way we have Spam Guardians active around the globe,
who only need to do something if a spammer raises their ugly head above the
parapet. One or two spam emails may get through, but hopefully somebody
will leap into action and stop their activity before it becomes too
tiresome.

This isn't an exclusive list. If you would like to be on it, feel free to
email me. Note: I expect you to be a long standing and currently active
member of this list to be included.

If this solution doesn't solve the problem, then we can reconsider
moderate-first-post, but we've managed to go 5 years without requiring it,
and I'd prefer to keep things as easy as possible for new users.

Can you make this post "sticky"?

Hi, Clinton --

May I suggest:

  • Some users (e.g., me) who read this list via an email subscription regard
    ANY spam on the list as an unacceptable state of affairs. This is not a
    problem with Apache lists, for example, so I would point the finger of
    blame at Google Groups.

  • Having N longstanding members who are willing to help ban spammers is
    equivalent to having N longstanding members who are willing to quickly
    admit new users. (And you're welcome to add me as N+1.)

  • Banning is ineffective. Spammers will continuously sign up with new
    accounts.

Hi,

I do agree with Paul, 200%.
I've received in my mailbox at least 49 spams just for the 06/30. I won't call this "a few spam email". I'm subscribed for years on many mailing lists, and I'm pretty sure that it would take years to get as much spam on those lists as I get in 1 day on ES mailing list.

That's interesting... I'd only seen three spam emails, so I wondered where
you got 49 from. I read the posts from my gmail account, so then I checked
my spam folder and sure enough there were a lot more emails in there that I
was unaware of.

I'm going to disable my spam filter for this group so that I get more
visibility, and I'd ask other moderators to do the same.

Let's see how it goes for a while longer. We can always revisit this
decision later on.

I fall on the side of caring less about spam emails (since I have decent
spam filter on my email) and would rate easy access to the group much
higher.
I tend to add/remove myself from groups all the time - so adding a delay to
adding myself to a group with be a big PITA for me.

The behavior in my gmail-operated spam filter has been to toss out
lots of emails from this list as false positives. So, I keep sending
them back to my in box; pretty soon, gmail asks me to forward the good
ones to them to study, so I do. The result of that is that they catch
NONE of those spams. They also don't put enough information in the
header to allow me to see if all those spams come from the same IP
address. Otherwise, it might be possible for the group list to block
certain IP addresses.

I just deleted a couple of non-related job postings and banned the poster.

Going forward, is there a consensus among the community about whether or
not job postings should be allowed? I do not mind postings that come
directly from companies, especially those whose existing developers are
already part of the community. Recruiters on the other hand perhaps should
not allowed. Of course, the job postings must be Elasticsearch related, and
not simply a buzzword in the overall tech stack.

This mailing list has not seen any yet, but they will appear eventually.

Thoughts?

Ivan,

I would not care much if the frequency is low but I think Elasticsearch
Linkedin group (
Sign Up | LinkedIn) could be
more logical target for job postings.

I agree with Ivan and Lukas, though recruiters with ES related jobs should
be ok as long as it's not a generic BCC like the ones Ivan deleted.

Ivan,

I would not care much if the frequency is low but I think Elasticsearch
Linkedin group (
Sign Up | LinkedIn) could
be more logical target for job postings.

I just deleted a couple of non-related job postings and banned the poster.

Going forward, is there a consensus among the community about whether or
not job postings should be allowed? I do not mind postings that come
directly from companies, especially those whose existing developers are
already part of the community. Recruiters on the other hand perhaps should
not allowed. Of course, the job postings must be Elasticsearch related, and
not simply a buzzword in the overall tech stack.

This mailing list has not seen any yet, but they will appear eventually.

Thoughts?

Hi all

Recently we've had a few spam emails that have made it through
Google's filters, and there have been a calls for us to change to a
moderate-first-post policy. I am reluctant to adopt this policy for the
following reasons:

We get about 30 new users every day from all over the world, many of
whom are early in their learning phase and are quite stuck - they need help
as soon as possible. Fortunately this list is very active and helpful. In
contrast, we've only ever banned 34 users from the list for spamming. So
making new users wait for timezones to swing their way feels like a heavy
handed solution to a small problem. Yes, spammers are annoying but they are
a small minority on this list.

Instead, we have asked 10 of our long standing members to help us with
banning spammers. This way we have Spam Guardians active around the globe,
who only need to do something if a spammer raises their ugly head above the
parapet. One or two spam emails may get through, but hopefully somebody
will leap into action and stop their activity before it becomes too
tiresome.

This isn't an exclusive list. If you would like to be on it, feel free
to email me. Note: I expect you to be a long standing and currently active
member of this list to be included.

If this solution doesn't solve the problem, then we can reconsider
moderate-first-post, but we've managed to go 5 years without requiring it,
and I'd prefer to keep things as easy as possible for new users.

Hi,

What is the current policy on this?

I just tried creating 2 new posts ... they showed up for awhile ... and
then disappeared. I thought that it could be because I did inline pictures
... so I tried reposting and got the same result.

Not sure if they're in a "to be moderated" bucket ... or googles spam
filter just deleted them.

The posts had these subjects:

  • What is a reasonable number of evictions for filter_cache and fielddata?
  • Are long queues in management threadpool a problem?

Thanks,
Gavin

I saw a similar thing happen yesterday, and the post then appeared today.
It was not a new thread in this case but instead a reply. I blame Google.
