btw, I deleted the spam-ticket (and the user) as soon as I became aware of it; ...the spam-user had a proper email account at gmail.com (so even google failed to detect that as a spam-user registration) which was used for email-verification; so far we get rather little spam (every couple of weeks, there's some spam-attempt) which imho is too little to set up (more) automatic anti-bot/spam facilities which may easily annoy legitimate users. > Nowadays most Haskell projects have moved away from Trac, mostly to > Github. ...which is sensible decision for many smallish projects which don't exploit/benefit-from Trac's ticket-management capabilities (and I think most projects on http://trac.haskell.org/ should consider moving to GitHub as well if they didn't already)...
