Extensible Spam Detection Filters based on this [snook.ca post](http://snook.ca/archives/other/effective_blog_comment_spam_blocker)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Available on [Packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/cmdz/spam-canner). Autoloading is PSR-4 compatible.

`composer require cmdz/spam-canner`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Filters are located in the `src/Filters` directory. You can add your own filters as well, they just need to implement `CmdZ\SpamCanner\Filters\FilterInterface` and then add them to the `$filters` array that you pass to `Score()`

```
$spamScoreIncrease = 1;
$currentCommentBody = 'abcd';
$previousCommentBody = 'abcd';

$testLink = 'http://www.site.de';
$spammyTlds = ['de'];
$domainParser = new \CmdZ\SpamCanner\Utilities\DomainParser;

$filters = [
  new BodyInPreviousComment($spamScoreIncrease, $currentCommentBody, $previousCommentBody),
  new Tlds($spamScoreIncrease, $testLink, $spammyTlds, $domainParser)
];

$utils = new \CmdZ\SpamCanner\Utilities\Utilities;
$score    = new Score($filters, $utils);
$result   = $score->getScore();
$expected = 2;
```
