I don't how much of this is done right now, or is feasible, but just in case here are some suggestions: - Don't allow more than 5-10 bug reports in one hour from the same IP, with possible ban (+ visual warning) - Use something like SpamAssassin, tuned toward bug-reporting - Restrict bug reporting to registered users only (but this is probably a bad policy) - Make the user pay $1 for each bug report (+ optionally introduce random bugs in Racket), and pay me back 50% for the idea.
