AFAIAA There isn't a policy. It's a barrier to entry and it would stop some people from using the site, so it requires some analyses of the impact on participation by the communities using RHBZ.

We can block comments based on content, so if there are patterns in the content we can have some impact here. If you spot patterns you'd like added to the list please mail them to the contact address. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/page.cgi?id=faq.html#getting-help-spam1 Cheers, Jeff. ___ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org

We don't support only limiting write access to a bug, you would also have to make the bug unreadable to those people. We could of course make it possible, but I think given the impact on the broader community it would require a lot of thought and consultation to work out how to do that in an acceptable way.

I remember seeing similar spam 1-2 months ago and was a little amused. Back then it DID hit the packaging mailing list as well, unfortunately. We probably need one of those "I am human" captchas as part of the registration process.

If tons of spam accounts are getting created continuously, then I think locking bugs won't help. IMHO the only way that will help is ask RedHat to set a more strict anti-spam procedure when creating new accounts. > The bug I linked had over 140 spam comments up until now, and like > you, I tried to mark them as spam and remove the spammer's email > addresses from the CC list, but to no avail. Why the bots stick to several bugs rather than spamming randomly on every bugs?

I'm getting *pretty annoyed* with a similar (but way worse) issue as well: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=810049 It's worse because there are way more spam comments and they get amplified by the mails to the package-review lists as well ... I was told to just mark comments as spam and by "magic" those accounts will get banned. Thing is, new accounts get created and just keep on posting spam. The bug I linked had over 140 spam comments up until now, and like you, I tried to mark them as spam and remove the spammer's email addresses from the CC list, but to no avail.

Can a bugzilla issue be locked because of spam?
This old issue (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1177202) keeps receiving spam every couple of weeks from a different account. I've been trying to flag the spam comments as spam, and remove the flags they keep setting, and remove their CC as well, so they don't get follow-ups and get encouraged to continue spamming. However, they keep doing it. It's really quite annoying. Is there any way it can be locked or restricted to committers? ___ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
