RE: @utopian-io - Analysing 'spam' comments - 'nice post', 'good post', 'follow me'
A great one I've seen in the past is someone taking my entire comment, changing a few of the words, and then upvoting themselves so they appear higher in the comment thread in order to collect a "reward". No idea if any form of fuzzy matching could detect this though.
I'm seeing this more and more too. Those irk me more than 'nice post' actually, but are much harder to programmatically find as spam. These comments imo should be flagged by whoever spots them.
Cheers for your input!
