    How to deal with autosubmits?

    It's too bad that some people abuse them, but autosubmits can get out of hand... If you have a tgp, how do you handle them?

    I find a few out of hundreds are good, the rest are pretty much tgp spam, so unless I know the webmaster...

    What do you do to cut down on this... is the tgpbrownie script any good at weeding them out, for example?

      Depends. Do you want to eliminate all autosubmitter traffic? If you do, the best thing to do is have the cgi script set a cookie in the submitters browser, then pass through another part of the script that requires the cookie. If the cookie isn't present, the script won't allow the submission. I did that for a client that was sick of autosubmitter posts. Seems to work well.
