Recent Changes Patrol

[Chris Watkins]

Thanks to all those who help with patrolling changes on Appropedia, keeping it free of spam and keeping everything.

I want to share a new tool - a RecentChanges feed that shows only anonymous and new users (which is where all our spam comes from):

http://www.appropedia.org/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&tagfilter=n

I want to focus on improving our spam filter, and developing an intern program for Appropedia, so I'm cutting back to checking once per day - nighttime, eastern Australia time (UTC+10). I'm not sure what time other Appropedians do their patrol, but if we have a few more at different times, and with an improved spam filter, we should be set.

More helpful links & info: 
Appropedia:Recent Changes Patrol‎

And if anyone notices a new pattern in spam hitting the site, let me know and I'll work on building that into the spam filter.

Thanks again!
