Regarding the #3, how do you find spam projects now? Could the script do
the same?

Hey folks.
So, a few weeks back I noticed some spam projects on pagure.io.
So, I cleaned up about 165 of them and deactivated 165 spam users.
Now, I see there's another pile of them. :(
So, I started to look at cleaning things up again, but I think we need a
better solution that doesn't involve admins manually cleaning things up.
;( Additionally, the clean up is not really very scripted and takes a
long time to do.
So, thoughts on a longer term solution? I can think of a few:
1. only allow fedora 'contributors' to make new projects. (ie, people in
at least one non cla/non base ipa group
Pros:
- Would very likely cut off the spam or at least cut it way down.
- Might be easy to implement? (not sure tho!)
Cons:
- Would block legit people who aren't fedora contributors.
2 Some kind of moderation for new projects
Pros:
- Would let non fedora folks make new projects.
- Would likely cut spam
Cons:
- Would require someone to moderate things
- Would requite us to make some kind of moderation code
3. A script to do all the cleanup so we could do it easier and some kind
of 'bad words' blocklist we could put in place to stop obvious spammers
(most of these are bogus "exam answers" ones)
Pros:
- Will cut down on spam some, but not fully.
Cons:
- Will have to write the script and implement the blocklist
- It's likely spammers will use different words over time and avoid the
block.
Or perhaps someone has further clever ideas? Happy to hear em. ;)
