even three of those messages are too much. As Mattias stated, even deleted stuff gets through. I think also a guest should be able to submit reports. In the meantime I got more than 50 mails, most of them from a bug report, Mattias reported 3 years ago and which has been closed and finally deleted. Again my proposal aims in the direction to give the user a system generated temporary key, which could not be red by a spam bot. This key has to be typed in to really submit a report. I don't what this meas in terms of effort. - Gerhard
