Dev.to has big spam issue

Publish Date: Oct 19 '23

Let's open Latest posts from last hour:

  • Omani Palms and Date Farms: A Sweet Escape
  • Does My Business Really Need Dallas Commercial Photography?
  • Electrifying Workouts at Kratos Studios EMS Gym in Salem NH (with #security tag)
  • Bully Sticks for Dogs (with #programming tag)
  • Dinno's Carpet Cleaning & Pest Control
  • Industrial Ethylene Oxide Sterilizer-Lodha International
  • USDA REAP Grants: Powering Rural America with Clean Energy
  • Unlocking Your Personal Car Driver Options: A DriverSab Guide
  • Bitcoin BTC price predication Qtfcrypto Technical Analysis

Nearly 40% spam makes this site unpleasant to check on daily basis. Spam issue was already mentioned by moderators in this post, but I have a feeling that it is getting progressively worse.

Ideas?

  • First posts from new accounts should have captcha.
  • Posting through API should not be available for new accounts until they make 3 posts from web interface.
  • Limited exposure, posts from new accounts should be shown for small percent of users and shown to rests if not flagged by control group within 2 hours.
