Well, here we are almost over a month and a half later still with no real solution and still with just a few people fighting the spam. As https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3252 is WONTFIX, I think allowing anonymous edits (at least over http) doesn't really work. We can't track contributions from them AT ALL, and we can't target bans to stop them. We also seem to be getting some malicious vandalism, so a CAPTCHA wont necessarily be a real solution anymore, either (can somebody just install this already? . . .). So, my proposal is to permanently apply the ban on 127.0.0.1, thus banning anonymous edits over http. If some other people who are really attached to these anonymous contributions want to step up and help with the spam, then I'd be less inclined to ban outright, but as-is. . . . _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
