Subject: Remove spam with EditComments extension on sourceware.org bugzilla.
Date: Thu, 14 Jul 2016 19:46:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <f2c0f641-6433-e5ce-c1f1-9608363f111e@redhat.com> (raw)

Overseers,

Since we have disabled the ability for anonymous uses from
editing bugs, the spammers have just started filling new
bugs with spam content in the description.

We had four such bugs posted on the 12th of this month:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?email1=cucu%40divismail.ru&emailreporter1=1&emailtype1=exact&list_id=30036

Even with tag SPAM to hide the content the HTML source of
the page continues to have the spammy content, likely not
hiding it from indexing robots.

I suggest we install Mozilla's EditComments extension:
https://github.com/mozilla-bteam/bmo/tree/master/extensions/EditComments
And allow admins to wipe spam comments from the database.

That should be enough to make us a hard target and hopefully
they move on.

Thoughts?

Cheers,
Carlos.
