The form at admin/settings/mollom/manage/%
has an option for "Text analysis accuracy" (Strict, Normal, Relaxed), but no explanation of what it means or what the different options do. I'd suggest adding some help text.

mealto CreditAttribution: mealto commentedYes, what is strict versus normal?
Comment #2
TravisCarden CreditAttribution: TravisCarden commentedI got the following answer to this question from Mollom support:
That being the case, I propose two changes: 1) Change the field label from "Text analysis accuracy" to "Text analysis strictness", since accuracy connotes error, whereas strictness (more appropriately) connotes rigidity. (The field machine name is "strictness", so apparently that's how the engineers think about it!) 2) Add clarifying help text. I suggest something like the following:
Here's a patch that does those two things.

star-szrPatch still applies and clears up the confusion I had.

sunThanks for improving the user interface!
This is what I see with this patch:

Along the lines of this?

star-szrThat looks more skimmable, but at a glance the wording looks to me like Strict might *let in* more spam. Can we spell it out a bit more? Something like:
Text analysis strictness
* Strict: Analysis is more likely to block posts as spam
* Normal
* Relaxed: Analysis is more likely to allow posts as ham
Comment #6
sunGood point!
I think that makes sense. However, note that posts are not necessarily "blocked" when Mollom identifies a post to be spam, since there is a separate option in this form to control that. Thus, leaving that bit out could result in:
Text analysis strictness
* Strict: Posts are more likely analyzed as spam
* Normal
* Relaxed: Posts are more likely analyzed as ham
"more likely analyzed" looks and reads a bit lengthy, but I do not have a better suggestion right now.
Comment #7
star-szrAlso a good point :) What about this?
Text analysis strictness
* Strict: Posts are more likely classified as spam
* Normal
* Relaxed: Posts are more likely classified as ham
