bbProtection is a new type of anti-spam service designed especially with bulletin board systems in mind. It works with the “a rising tide lifts all boats” motto; as users report the spammers the service becomes more effective.

In December 2006 we launched the service with an open beta, but unfortunately it was terminated due to a lack of manpower and resources available at that time. However, we are happy to report that we are currently in the planning stages of relaunching the bbProtection service.

Our core concepts have not changed from the first beta period; we want to make an anti-spam service that is highly effective and allows users to concentrate on running their boards and not dealing with spam. We are taking the ideas and concepts that we learnt from our first beta and using them to build a better and more powerful service.

We hope that this blog will become the mouthpiece from which various team members speak about the road to our launch. We’ll be posting items that are still a working progress and welcome your feedback to create the best service for tackling the issues of spam that we have today.
