General discussion

I have been out of programming for a few years now, but I used to use foxpro and then Oracle and I would have used these to do the type of program I wanted but I want it to run on a server, foxpro is out of date and Oracle is far too expensive for what I want to do. I have tried Joomla but got nowhere and someone suggested Drupal, so this is roughly what I am trying to do.

Hello Drupal Community -

Just started developing with Drupal a few weeks ago and am still trying to wrap my head around it. Having fun learning the ins and outs, but could really use some advice in one area -

As I prepared to turn on comments and forums, I researched the anti-spam techniques out there for Drupal. There are a lot of great tools, but then it occurred to me: There is a lot of redundancy, and no coordination. See the wonderful list of anti-spam modules.

Would it be a good idea to have a module to coordinate all of these modules, and bind them?

It seems that all of these modules do some or all of the same basic five things:

• Detect spammy behavior (especially bots).
• Block spammy behavior.
• Cache information about potential sources of spam.
• Report sources of spam to a central repository.
• Clean up spammy accounts and content.

Now, they all do this in different ways, particularly the detection part.

However, it seems to me that there could be some sort of "Grand Central Bad Behavior Blocker" (GCBBB) module. It would coordinate all of the actions above amongst different modules. Individual modules would provide one or some of the above services, but wouldn't need to provide all of them.

Hi all,

I would like to know if someone has recently experimented performance comparisons of these CMS, running on also recent LAMP configurations (Apache 2.4, MySQL 5.6, PHP 5.4 branch).

Considering only performance reasons, which CMS would you choose for a 10K-20K visits/day website?

Regards
