Hi all, It has been a few months now that the spam restrictions have been in place. Can these be removed now?
Here are a couple of examples of the bar being too high: http://stackoverflow.com/q/42316631/2796832: - My guess is this is an oversight. Please feel free to file an issue at bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=CDT. – HighCommander4 yesterday - If someone else can report this bug, due to "spam" I can't report any bugs, which seems an awful way to design a bug reporting site :/ – AgentM 14 hours ago - You can report bugs. You just need to email [email protected] to approve the account creation. – HighCommander4 13 hours ago https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=507077 (I'm filing this issue on behalf of Robert Varga, who is about to but doesn't have an eclipse.org account yet; "Due to SPAM if you are a *NEW* user and wish to file bugs you will need to contact webmaster at eclipse dot org to be granted permission. All other users should be unaffected by this change." <= he's been waiting to hear back for 3 days..)
