Spammers do so by just posting answers to random PRs. As a result of this: - The PRs gets polluted with these annoying messages that we cannot remove (just mark as spam, which is a game of wack-a-mole and personally a waste of our precious time); - People on the Cc: list get emails about them. I wouldn't be exagerating if I said that 95% of emails I am getting from bugzilla, at the moment, is spam. I think the problem is that spammers can create their account without any form of validation. Is there something we could do about this? Pedro tells us that: > LLVM has solved this by disabling new user self-registration: > > https://bugs.llvm.org/enter_bug.cgi > > "New user self-registration is disabled due to spam. For an account please email > bugs-admin@lists.llvm.org > with your e-mail address and full name." I'm happy to help with answering those legitimate account creations, if that makes a differnce. Any other ideas, perhaps? Thank you! -- Joel
