Almost no one seems to be online today. Most people have smth better to do but I don't.

I have upgraded the Ragnar anti spam service. It will:
- respond to spam in less than a minute like you're used to (a bit slower than before actually. The other system reacted in seconds but I decided that it's a bit overkill / not worth the resources.)
- use around 20 times less resources (instead of 20 bots, it's now one bot (a scout) that checks situation and activate other bots when needed)
- spam less, from now on, only one message gets posted under a downvoted rant. (before this was varying, could be 7 messages under a rant)
- since spammers upvote their down voted rant after a week or so, Ragnar down votes 5 times so it's harder to upvote. (before this was varying)

If someone thinks to see more spam because the service is a bit slower, let me know. It's very easy to adjust it's speed.

Happy new year Ragnar, doing such an amazing job that AI would be a down grade in any way. Two false positives since existance and rarely one slips trough. People do actually call @ragnar if smth slips trough. Makes me happy and surprised how much people did read the few times I mentioned that feature. Says a lot about activity regarding readers in the community.

The spammers didn't celebrate new years it seems. Hard workii workii. Also happy new year.

Buffon, especially happy new year to you. You owe me two days of work for your shit. At least happy to know that the spam king at least is a real dev.

I hope this will be a good year for devrant. There's no reason that it wouldn't. We're te coolest independent single subject reddit thread on the internet.

Several spam posts going trough. Great that some people call @ragnar when they see it.

To make it a bit more efficient - a second check for spam is added and made with AI. Was waiting for this to be needed for a long time. I tested it with ten good rants and ten bad rants and it seemed to be OK. It took some time to find out how to describe the harmful content.

We're getting very close to complete spam free!
