>>19That interface Looks lovely, thanks :)
> allow gochan to sit on top of the current database and control it directlyThat's interesting, could also function as a kind of 'second front-end' so boards could try out gochan without scrapping their old board. still for me personally i would like to get off of MongoDB as soon as possible. :-\
i'm sure once the engine is effectively done someone will end up writing the db migration script, so the devs shouldn't waste time on that.
>AntiSpamAkismet is pretty good, and yeah having specialized filters is really useful, along with hash based bans. Might i also recommend block lists through hosts DNSBL files like can be found at https://www.dnsbl.info or there's IP based blocklists like here https://stopforumspam.com/downloads these are all free.
> captcharecaptcha, hcaptcha are all great options, tho for the truly paranoid some kind of internal captcha system like is available on lynxchan or TinyIB would be nice.
i think both of these use imagemagick, but you can do the same html5 canvas and go, basically you print a random string into a box and make the text wavey with some random colors and shapes, it's not that great but it keeps the low hanging fruit out.
