SpamDetection is a detection bot made by OpenSourcePolitics. It works with a spam detection service which marks the user with a spam probability score, between 0.7 and 0.99 it is probable, and above 0.99 it is very sure.
By default, the bot does not blocks the user, it only reports them. All reports and blocks are made like regular Decidim ones.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem "decidim-spam_detection"

bundle exec rake decidim:spam_detection:mark_users
