[Bug 40566] New: Consider a spam filter and way to mark messages as spam
https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40566 Bug ID: 40566 Summary: Consider a spam filter and way to mark messages as spam Product: WineHQ Bugzilla Version: unspecified Hardware: x86 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: bugzilla-unknown Assignee: wine-bugs(a)winehq.org Reporter: caronjwills(a)gmail.com Distribution: --- Bug 40565 just came through. There is no doubt that it is spam. Perhaps we should consider adding a captcha or means to verify a reporter is a human before they can file a bug. Further, having a flag to mark a bug as spam would be helpful. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40566 --- Comment #1 from Rosanne DiMesio <dimesio(a)earthlink.net> --- Bug 40565 looks like it was from the same group that forced the wiki move. They also tried spamming the forum, but since their posts never got past moderation and never actually appeared on the forum, they eventually gave up trying. If their past behavior is any indication, deleting their spam after it's posted, no matter how quickly, isn't enough to stop them. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40566 --- Comment #2 from Rosanne DiMesio <dimesio(a)earthlink.net> --- Four new spam bugs filed this morning. Simply changing the bug summary in bugzilla after the spam is posted is not likely to discourage this bunch: the spammy bug summary will have already gone out to everyone on the mailing list, and will exist forever on sites that archive it. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.

https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40566 --- Comment #3 from Caron <caronjwills(a)gmail.com> --- However, if there had been a way to flag that account as a spamming account (for all portions of WineHQ), that person would have never had the possibility of posting a bug. Adding some way to filter is only an idea. I know it won't discourage some of the spam but updating the way it is dealt with could mean a spammer gets flagged in the bug tracker and then can't post on the forums. I also know it is not necessarily that easy, I'm only proposing that it could become that easy if there were a way to mark such posts or email accounts. -- Do not reply to this email, post in Bugzilla using the above URL to reply.
