Folks, The Trac Spammers have found our Trac instances and are actively spamming those that allow anonymous ticket creation and modification. For example this recent spam on the Mapbender trac instance:
Changes (by anonymous): * cc: [email protected] (removed) * cc: None (added) * component: core => print * summary: Titled GUIs (new zebra) => None * version: 2.4.1 => 2.1 * milestone: => Support usage of Styled Layer Descriptors (SLD) * keywords: login, gui list => None Comment: {{{ #!html <u style="display:none"><a href=http://search- painter.bravehost.com/map.html>Painter</a> <a href=http://the-interior- design.bravehost.com/map.html>Interior design</a></u> }}} Beyond the fact that our google karma is being redirected to serve nefarious ends, there is also random damage being done to legitimate trac tickets. For the time being I have disabled anonymous ticket creation and modification. Anyone wanting to submit or modify a ticket will now need to login with an OSGeo userid. If this is contrary to the wishes of the Mapbender PSC I (or Astrid or Christoph) can revert this change.
