It seems that the spamming of our p.e.c Trac is going fairly well ...
Today I cleared two spam attacks, one this morning, one 2 minutes ago.
Given that the deleted wiki version simply ''disappear'', it's even
possible
that someone else cleared yet another sequences of spam today...
I'm also clearing out spam when I see it (and have the extra minutes).
Also, I semi-regularly remove spam comments on tickets directly in
the DB... not much work unless the spammer also changed ticket
properties in addition to adding a comment.
We should do something about this...
Here are some possible actions:
1. integrate the spam-filter branch in trunk, and switch on that
2. impose the usage of a ''guest'' account like on the Pysqlite wiki
(but that will be only effective for a few days, until that
account is
picked up by spammers)
3. make sensitive wiki pages read-only, for a while, until option 1.
is reached.
The spam-filter branch needs to be split up into:
a) extension points needed to implement spam filters as plugins
b) the actual filtering plugin(s)
We really need to push forward with the work Matt has done in this
area ASAP. Especially the extension points need to get merged soon,
so that we can experiment with the effectiveness of specific
filtering mechanisms on p.e.c.
Until that happens, I think we can live with continuing the extra
work of cleaning up manually.
Cheers,
Chris
