View source for Developing Antispam

Antispam is one of the more out-of-the-way corners of Dreamwidth development. 

=Antispam Privs= 
In order to even see what's in the spam-handling pages, your dreamhack's basic-antispam user will need [[Privileges|privs.]]


The syntax to grant the necessary privs on the [http://www.dreamwidth.org/admin/console console] is: 
priv	grant	siteadmin:spamreports,sysban:talk_ip_test <em>username</em>

=Antispam Pages=
The antispam pages are located at http://www.dreamwidth.org/admin/spamreports 

Antispam users also use http://www.dreamwidth.org/admin/console/ sometimes. 

Antispam users have access to the sysban management page but don't often go there now. http://www.dreamwidth.org/admin/sysban 

=Antispam Roles= 
The following roles, roughly, touch antispam stuff: 

* Site Admin - top of the priv chain of trust; manages large-scale sysbans. privs: admin:*
* Terms of Service - courtesy antispam privs, can suspend
* Antispam Lead - can grant antispam privs to new spamwhackers, can suspend OpenID accounts, can suspend regular accounts, has finduser email. 
* Basic Antispam User - can sysban:talk_ip_test, can view spam reports, can close spam reports.

If you're testing to make sure nothing has broken, you probably will want users with these sets of privs. (to do: add actual privs list for each role.)

=Working with Antispam=

Antispam is thrilled to help out the developers who are helping them!
