Squiz Matrix Fights Spam with Mollom

To assist customers combat the ongoing problem of spam, leading Australian web solutions provider Squiz recently introduced Mollom (an advanced spam prevention service) to Squiz Matrix. Mollom can be activated on Matrix's External Tools Configuration screen and requires Public and Private keys from a registered Mollom user account. Squiz Matrix also offers a Test mode for the implementation process.

Mollom boasts a 99.93% efficiency rating and adds that only about 2% of human users are challenged with a CAPTCHA image. These statistics promise to improve the accessibility of sites and maintain a high quality experience for both users and site administrators.

Mollom works by analysing the quality of content posted to websites and automatically determines whether submitted content is spam (unwanted content) or ham (legitimate content). If Mollom is unsure of whether a submission is spam or not, a CAPTCHA will be presented for verification. Both image and audio CAPTCHAs are supported. Providing a CAPTCHA for inconclusive content effectively eliminates the need for the moderation of submissions.

Once activated, Mollom protection can be configured for use on both Custom Form and Asset Builder pages. Further spam check options are available on the configuration screen of these assets, including the questions to check and the content that is expected for these questions. For example, if you have a Name question on your form, you can set it as an Author Name question. This indicates to Mollom the type of content that is expected and it will check submissions accordingly.
