Bug tracker spam - cedeel - 06-03-2012
It seems some spammers have decided to create incomprehensible reports.
RE: Bug tracker spam - FakeTruth - 06-03-2012
They've been there for quite a while :p I clean them up when I think there is enough spam. I can't delete tasks from within flyspray, I have to delete them manually through MySQL/phpmyadmin
RE: Bug tracker spam - xoft - 06-03-2012
Just set their email to empty and then we can safely close them within FlySpray itself. As long as we don't care about closed issues
RE: Bug tracker spam - FakeTruth - 06-04-2012
Obviously I can close them from FlySpray, but I can't delete them. And I do not want to host spam on the bugtracker.
RE: Bug tracker spam - xoft - 06-04-2012
If you closed them without blanking the email, flyspray would have tried to send an email to that bogus address, with who knows what kind of results - either confirming to the spammers that they hit something live, or having your own mailserver marked as a spam source.
Whatever, just get rid of them
Speaking of spam (and anti-spam), would it be possible to add some kind of a whitelist to the wiki? The captchas there are getting harder and harder to read, when I was writing the docs, that was one thing that really got on my nerves. Especially when I solved that captcha just to remember that I still need to preview the page first.

Dunno, I don't think the captcha plugin distinguishes between users. Even though I'm the admin, I still need to enter the captchas. I'll investigate later to see if I can find something that works...
DokuWiki unlike MediaWiki does not require you to preview the page before you submit it, and you can preview it without entering the captcha.
RE: Bug tracker spam - xoft - 06-04-2012
Yeah, but I usually automatically solve the captcha, then remember that I wanted to preview the page first. And I do want to preview before committing, because I do tend to make mistakes, especially with tables.
Well, hopefully you'll find something.

Awesome, there was a config option to disable reCAPTCHA for users. Unfortunately I cannot filter between users, so if a spambot manages to register, it can still spam the wiki. Good thing is that there are no spambots already registered, actually there are very few users on the wiki.
RE: Bug tracker spam - xoft - 06-04-2012
Why don't the authors of such tools add reasonable options? Such as "disable captcha for users with more than N commits"? That would so make sense.

The bug tracker has been cleaned for the moment
