I did a bit more research on the issue and given that some work was done in #20498 (assign negative score on spammer'a articles). So, I suppose that I'm going to rely on score
and make sure that articles with negative score don't appear in feeds and search. There are checks like .where("score >= 0")
or with_at_least_home_feed_minimum_score
in some places, but we need to make sure that articles with negative score don't appear somewhere.
I considered unpublishing, but it will make unsuspending harder, and in general seems like misusing published
field.
Filtering my the author's role explicitly will be inefficient in feeds/search, so is not an optimal solution as well.

@lightalloy yeah, on a place-by-place basis, sometimes 0 should be the threshold and sometimes minimum feed score. I think it depends on the place.
I actually think we're reasonably well covered in "feed" contexts, but we can seek to find more.
In order to make articles and users with spam role less accessible, I think one move would be to 404
the landing pages (at least for signed out) — this would ensure that.
In general I think we should avoid using unpublishing, and instead modify score and call not_found
on the landing page themselves. Therefore if we need to remove the spam
role things effectively go back to where they were without having to manage a bunch of complicated state — we try and make everything flow down-hill from the spam
role being present.
Maybe it makes sense to add downstream logic little by little in small PRs so that you can make a judgment call as needed and we can evaluate a change in the PR itself?

@benhalpern Agree on not unpublishing, I have abandoned this idea after considering it 🌚
I wanted to create a small pr for 404 article pages but then realized that it will be misleading if we still have articles in feeds but return 404. After the research I see that most cases are covered, so I may still want to create this pr first.
from forem.
@lightalloy I think creating the PR for the 404 is the right next step. In general we want to minimize the chance of someone clicking a link elsewhere in the product to get a 404 page, but I think we're likely covered here and would only have edge cases remaining.
from forem.
So, I found out that articles with negative score can be displayed on pages like top by timeframe (/top/week
, /top/month
) and tag pages by timeframe: (/t/tagname/top/year
).
It's not very likely for them to appear on dev.to because of the large number of articles, though possible, especially on tag pages with less popular tags.
So I would add a threshold there. Latest has a -20
threshold
So, we could use -20 (or zero) as a threshold for those pages.

Yeah @lightalloy that makes sense
