Wow, spammers are fast. Yesterday I added a link to JOSM and today one of the spammers previously only on t.e.o. also found JOSM and started to spam it.

So when linking to your Trac from t.e.o. be prepared to get some additional spammers :-) I have a spammer at JOSM site, which does not go to t.e.o., but t.e.o.'s are comming to my. *Buuh*

Nevertheless I can observe that spammers have something like "GoogleRank" and do more spamming at popular sites, so one additional link will not really have negative effects.

Some stats, so you know what SPAM means currently:

For JOSM I have not one SPAM passed through automatics in at least 3 months and only few needed to enter captcha.

For t.e.o. situation is improving rapidely. In last month some SPAMs came through (mainly non-automatic ones) and only few captchas have been required. Only one valid try to update russian translation has been blocked completely.

Both sites have usually between 100 to 1000 spam entries a day.
