Hi Michael,

Steve White noticed that his News (forum) items have had spam
replies.  https://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=6884

This is happening everywhere.  There are dozens of spams being posted
daily as replies on all the savannah administration news items.
https://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=6884

I don't doubt that it's happening with (all?) other forums.

We have to make it stop :).  Can we just globally disable replies on
news items going forward?  The way News is used on savannah, I don't
think I've ever seen a legitimate reply.

Clearing out all the existing spam, and all those spam users, is going
to be a pain too.  Any hope of doing anything programmatic there?

Help?

Thanks,
Karl
