[Tracker-discuss] [issue523] Spam tracker accounts

I have now removed the notices about SourceForge.

As for spam accounts: it doesn't appear to be an urgent issue (remaining 
untreated for a year). There is spam protection already in place, preventing 
registration from bots who fill out the form too quickly. I don't think a 
captcha is really needed - closing this issue.

Looks like the meta-tracker also just got hit, in issue 195.

[Tracker-discuss] [issue523] Spam tracker accounts

[R David Murray]

New submission from R David Murray:

Christian Heims reported on the infrastructure list that there was spam on 
issue 12641 from "unknown users".  I've done some poking around, and they 
weren't created via openid.  Presumably they were created the normal way 
through the registration form, which does not have any sort of captcha.  (And, 
by the way, we really could drop the sourceforge message at this point, I think 
:)

So, I guess we need to add a text captcha to the registration form :(
