The Trac ticket system seems to be getting spammed on a regular basis at the moment, here are *four* of my old tickets that just got hit today:

Is there anything we can do to prevent this?
Dong Inn and I installed the filter from http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/SpamFilter (without Akismet or Captcha support). One of the moderators should add relevant regular expressions to https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/wiki/BadContent then make it read-only; I seeded it with the list from Trac's own BadContent page. I added a bunch of junk comments for testing; apparently those can't be removed until we update Trac so they'll have to stay for now. -- Jeremiah Willcock
