Killed, along with about a dozen others from the last month, man this is getting persistent!

Yet another one: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/10580 Maybe we should restrict ticket creation to registered users only?

As far as I understand, getting a Trac ID is a very manual and vetted process, and only recommended if you're a significant contributor.

My impression was that this was because Trac ID was connected to SVN access. Since we no longer use SVN, this is no longer the issue. I may be wrong though.

If you don't want any bug reports at all from mortals, sure, limit it to registered users. Even if the requirements to get an user is relaxed, you're going to lose a lot of reports.

Well, most public and popular projects (take KDE, Qt, ffmpeg, libav for example) require registration on their bug trackers and that is ok. If I'm not mistaken, you have to be registered on GitHub to create an issue for a project hosted there. I don't think there will be a problem for Boost.

As a side note, what happened to the discussion on considering Github-based issue tracking? Did the Boost Cabal (Steering Committee?) ever say anything definitive on that?

I, for one, wouldn't like having two bug trackers, and there are quite a few tickets in Trac already. Unless there is a migration plan, I don't think this is a good idea.

I wish, it appears some mechanical turker has us in his sights, anyone any ideas?

I have pinged DongInn to make sure the spam filters haven’t been inadvertently disabled. — Marshall

Deleted. 13 in the last 24 hours, about 10 yesterday.... it's getting worse :-( Strangely, I logged out and tried to submit a duplicate of one of the spam issues - and Trac wouldn't let me! So something *is* working, and yet these guys clearly are finding a way around this. John.

Can you access thew server logs, and examine how they posted their spam?

No, but the admin pages showed the entries got through because they filled out a Captcha successfully. I've adjusted the spam filtering weightings a bit and we'll see if it helps... hopefully folks will still be able to post tickets... please complain loudly if not! John.

Now here's a comment spam: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/4028#comment:13

Deleted, if there are more of these - and I bet there are because new ticket spam seems to have stopped for now - please let me know because I don't know of an easy way to search for these - unlike new tickets. John.
