I received a ticket today: https://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/5457
that's only purpose is to distribute a commercial link.
Has anyone experienced a similar misuse of the trac system?
Yep, it happens from time to time, I couldn't find any other tickets by this guy, so I just deleted that one ticket.
Are there ideas how to prevent this?
I seem to remember Rene has tried to suppress these as far as is possible, but nothings 100% foolproof... :-(
The suppression of these is actually working rather good at the moment, to the order of better than 95%. But, yes, it's impossible for something to be totally miscreant proof. I also marked the ticket as SPAM in the system so that hopefully in some near future the detection will improve with Askimet. -- -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Redshift Software, Inc. - http://redshift-software.com -- rrivera/acm.org (msn) - grafik/redshift-software.com -- 102708583/icq - grafikrobot/aim,yahoo,skype,efnet,gmail
