I banned several ranges of IP addresses, and also permanently banned some
domain names. Logs show that all evil attempts made today have been
successfully blocked (for how long?).

Content analysis has been (partially) implemented today. If the bug report is
considered to be spam, the bug report is automatically rejected and the user
account automatically disabled.
