Bug #: 31798 Summary: Some sort of anti-spam measure for testbot signups Product: Wine-Testbot Version: unspecified Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: scott@open-vote.org Classification: Unclassified
We get maybe 2-3 spam applications per day now, from automated sign-up-for-anything bots.
A simple captcha (even a homegrown "enter the text 'I am human' one") would probably be sufficient.

--- Comment #1 from François Gouget fgouget@codeweavers.com --- This got fixed by the following patch. It's a simple captcha that's easy to by-pass but the TestBot is not interesting for spamming so it seems to be enough:
commit a83696fd675954763053ea193f09977b6d452625 Author: Francois Gouget fgouget@codeweavers.com Date: Fri Jun 13 18:32:32 2014 +0200
testbot/web: Add a simple 'captcha' on the registration page.
The captcha is in the form of a simple configurable question where the answer should be obvious to Wine developers.
