??changed: -There are already mecanism to stop spam, based on so-called "IP blacklists", but they are not used at Savannah, people they are blocking people from login in, and black lists tend to be more and more "white lists" (that is, wide IP ranges are blacklisted and people need to do some work to get unlisted, which is essentially whitelisting). - -Currently there's a simple "type 421" here box for anonymous posters, which seems to work well, but spammers now tend to create users accounts anyway. Problem spam on Savannah comes not from email spam but instead in the form of web posts. Currently there's a simple "type 421" captcha-style box for anonymous posters. This seems to work well. But spammers now tend to create users accounts anyway. After creating an account there is no longer any automated blocks to posting and this includes posting spam. A voting mechanism to remove spam exists. Project owners can vote spam out in one vote. Others require multiple votes to hide posted spam.
