Description
I have run into issues with Mollom deleting annon blog comments from users who enter the captcha correctly. I would like to see a feature that moderates comments that enter the captcha correctly instead of just deleting them. I cannot use it until then as I cannot afford to turn users away.
#1
Marked #414962: Handling false positives as a duplicate..
I'm in the same boat.
Though I'm not really specifically looking for a moderation queue solution, but rather any solution which can guarantee that 0% false positives are blocked/lost. Mollom already tries to do that with the uncertainty/captcha challenge, but evidently it's doesn't catch 100% of the false positives.
I've had few ideas in mind for few weeks but never got into thinking them through, I will hopefully post an update on that soon.
#2
Marked #492294: Option for CAPTCHA comments to be dumped in approval queue and #401092: Valid submission lost: can we store spam messages in database for human review? as duplicates of this issue.
#3
Sites are permanently losing valid form submissions daily because of this. Marking as critical. Watchdog isn't a viable solution since it only saves a couple days (or so) of denied submissions and even if you find a false positive in there, there's obviously no way to mark it as approved.
#4
I agree with this. I 'm looking at Mollum as it's a high usage module but I'd rather have human checking on possible false positives, with ability to accept/reject, rather than risk blocking/loosing them
#5
Marked the following issues as duplicates:
#575350: Add Fallback strategy: Leave all forms unprotected and place submissions into approval queue
#371187: Mollom Unpublish all nodes fallback
#575092: fall back to registered users only if mollom inaccessible
It would be very good to provide alternative fallback strategies, but with the impending use-on-any-form code going in, this is going to be a difficult task. We might have to implement something like a fallback strategory per-form. For nodes, comments, we know we can do certain things, but we don't want to limit ourselves like we're currently doing.
Marking this postponed until after #245682: Enable use of Mollom for any form lands.
#6
Subscribe; would love this feature.
I like Mollom and the way it works, but I'm running a very low volume site and I'd rather manually review rejected entries rather than lose a single false positive.
For now I check admin/reports/dblog and that works decently but when I find a false positive I only see the body of the comment, not author etc.
