Thread:Project:Support desk/Fighting NON-regular expression spam

Hi guys,

I'm sure I am not alone in this, but lately I've been getting spam of a very specific type that incorporates the following tag to link to an outside site: == link url here ==

I've been trying to teach myself how to block spam using regular expressions, and so far I've gotten pretty good results. However, these guys are being much more subtle, using large blocks of texts that don't necessarily use words I would likely block out. I found information on how to block CSS tags that are used to hide spam, but....does anyone know how I can use the $wgSpamRegex feature to block out regular HTML like the above?

Here is what my tag looks like right now:

$wgSpamRegex = "/|fuck|shit|motherfucker|porn|viagra|phentermine|pussy|adult-website\.com|display:none|overflow:\s*auto;\s*height:\s*[0-4]px;/i";

I'd appreciate any help anyone can give, or if there is a website that shows how to deal with this type of spam. I get about 7-8 spammy entries per day, likely humans because some of them actually go back and edit stuff!
