STOP PLAYING AROUND WITH BUGZILLA

why do I suspect someone is trying to automate bugzilla filings?


You mean, if he has finished automatisation we should move to Jira? ;-)



we got a truckload of spam on jira on our (public) work server until they added captcha checks to the latest jira (3.8?). Even with trackbacks turned off, we'd get bugreps full of links. The problems were -jira didnt do any authentication or email validation before issuing an account.
 -it was easy to search for jira installations on the web

in a way, its a success metric of jira: its used enough that its worthwhile for link spammers to write software to spam it. But its inconvenient to have to purge the entries every morning...the new jira release has fixed that.
