Re: [racket-dev] spam planet bug reports
Well, I changed the regexp for the planet bug reports to insist that there was a 'v' at the beginning and then dropped the regexp itself from the error and the spammers just figured it out. So I'm guessing that this means that they are serious about spamming planet (why?!). Sounds like it is time to look into recaptcha.

It now uses the RGB inverse of the background color (e.g., white on black), which roughly corresponds to the old caret's 'xor drawing mode. That was quick (as always). :) Thank you very much. -- regards, Jakub Piotr Cłapa _ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/dev
Re: [racket-dev] spam planet bug reports
[ If you know of bug reports that still exist in the system that have links to some spammers site, please let me know the numbers and I'll delete them. I tried to delete them all but probably missed some. ] PLaneT bug reports now should be using recaptcha properly (it took me about 7x longer than predicted, partly because I don't know python or how trac is organized all that well and partly because the word 'recaptcha' has a 't' in it; about 1/2 and 1/2 for those two, um, problems.) Please let me know if you see any problems. Thanks, Robby PS: Sam, thanks. That makes a lot of sense. Made me go figure out how to expunge the spam reports too!
