Changing Bugzilla settings so a single person can't confirm bugs by "popular vote"
Hi folks, While working on bug 9405, I realized that all 20 votes on that bug were made by the reporter. I think that's pretty lame, so I've asked the bugzilla folks if there's a way to fix that. They said that the settings should be obvious when editing the product. Can we please fix that? Cheers, Kai -- Kai Blin WorldForge developer http://www.worldforge.org/ Wine developer http://wiki.winehq.org/KaiBlin Samba team member http://www.samba.org/samba/team/ -- Will code for cotton.
Agreed, quite a few bugs have been confirmed in this manner. On 8/21/07, Kai Blin <kai.blin(a)gmail.com> wrote:

If there's a way to set it such that confirmation (and only confirmation) ignores all but 1 of an individual's votes, that would be ideal. Thanks, Scott Ritchie On Wed, 2007-08-22 at 00:02 -0700, Lei Zhang wrote:

I've updated the Wine product under bugzilla to the following settings: -- Maximum votes per person: 20 Maximum votes a person can put on a single bug: 1 Confirmation threshold: 2 -- The setting I changed was the "Maximum votes a person can put on a single bug". It was set to: 10000. No idea why, it's possible that was the default back when we set it originally. I've changed it to 1. This change also removed all the duplicate votes.
