So before we can use such a ring/flock/group/p2p upgrade system, we need to find a way to sort out trust. Options I see right now are GPG/PGP keyrings, Ebay-alike trust ratings, or ability to define the people whom can access your datamine.
Hi Bèr, Thank you for replying to my suggestion, about cooperating to fight spam better. You suggest that a few trusted site owners cooperate together, in a small group, to exchange information as a starter for all the bayesian tokens. This is interesting, but I was thinking about something on a much larger scale, which is perharps beyond the scope of this list, and probably un-doable and unrealistic anyway. I don't understand the technology used by the spammers (their tools are not Open Source!), how they can use a simple robot to post spam from apparently different IPs. I was hoping that there was a way to force all the virused, wormed, trojaned Windows boxes and unpatched websites used by the spammers to get fixed or shut down... Anyway, thanks for replying.
