FYI! (I'm in the OSGeo-SAC team but thought to fwd here to avoid any bus factor)
Indeed, we have spam in our wiki, see https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/admin/spamfilter/monitor I cleaned that one up now.

Is there any action item related to this for trac admins? The action is: configure the filter. Unfortunately the configuration is per-instance so cannot be shared. I've been playing a bit with ossim as it was under attack. The default configuration doesn't catch much spam, especially as the score of being authenticated is very high (20). Not many systems allow spammers to register accounts (fixing the LDAP registration is top priority to reduce spam). The score of various filters can be set via https://trac.osgeo.org/INSTANCE/admin/spamfilter/config It also helped to create a BadContent wiki page, see https://trac.osgeo.org/ossim/wiki/BadContent It needs be improved, and ideally copied among the various instances. Then you can train the bayes db, going to: https://trac.osgeo.org/INSTANCE/admin/spamfilter/monitor and telling spam from ham. These activities can by default only be done by those who have TRAC_ADMIN permission, but the plugin adds also spamfilter specific permissions you could use to grant more power to others. Details here: https://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/SpamFilter#Permissions If someone would write these various things on a wiki page and link the new page from Trac_Instances it would be helpful. --strk; _______________________________________________ Sac mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/sac _______________________________________________ grass-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/grass-dev
