Do I need a Trac/SVN Userid?
Arrgghhh!
There is a duplication in the URL /trac/boost/tract/boost, so I tried with removing one et voila, it offers a form, but after some time of editing and submitting I get a
"Submission rejected as potential spam (Akismet says content is spam)"
Lost half an hour for nothing now. Could have been stored in a moderated queue at least. Back button leads to expired form, so all my editing is lost. This is how you draw people away from reporting bugs.
I propose using a mechanism like gmane, where you type some text from an image in order to identify yourself as human. And yes I will request a user id now.
I agree that we should do something about this. Akismet seems to make far too many mistakes. I wonder if http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/SpamFilter or http://projects.otaku42.de/wiki/ScallyWhack/Introduction (or both together) might do a better job for us. Doug, is that something we could look into? -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
