Some antispam tips are described here
http://www.php-help.net/search.php?q=spam

Could/should we implement one/both of these systems to prevent spambots from getting email adresses written in XOOPS content ?

I looked for such a functionnality in XOOPS core code, but didn't find the same feature. Yes there is a feature, but it does not cover all aspects.

The main objective would be to prevent mail adresses, written in articles for example, from being leeched too easily.

I don't know which system mambo has implemented. Could be great if someone investigated over there their solution (if any)....

Re: True Antispam feature

Do you mean automatically changing email addresses in text or that for example the [email] tag could have a parameter like [email nospam]something@somewhere[ /email]?

YES !

but although, each time you enter an email adress in an article (for example in news module, you write a contact list, with name and email), it is automaticaly converted in youradress@nospamyourprovider visually.
So, in html code,you can see youradress@nospamyourprovider (or something like this, to prevent spambots from leeching your adress), but as you click on this email link, a javascript converts it to youradress@yourprovider.com...

that's, so far I can understand, the idea...

I know the core feature (nospam) but this one seems not to work like these 2 tips, no ?
your idea to add these features in a new bbcode (or to renew it ?) is great !

I'm positive if someone wants to give it a go and try drafting a solution to this (btw Marco - check dev.x.o regarding module packages, please)
