at SORBS (attacked on a daily basis at times)... I went with the following that FreeBSD might find useful: 1/ No login, no information (static pages only) 2/ No Login + Catpcha (self generated, tho reCaptcha would work), limited information and rate limiting (on IP address) 3/ Login - email verified, admin *not verified* (ie general user) .. a little more information than in (2) and rate limits increased (and not limited to IP - though changing IP will require re-login). 4/ Login - email verified - admin verified (ie: privileged user) .. full (almost - based on permissions) access... rate limiting removed. how I could see that apply to FreeBSD (using the same numbering): 1/ static pages only 2/ can view a bug (and *maybe* log a bug - a single bug per day/week/month) 3/ can log a bug and view a bug 4/ can work on a bug, log a bug and view a bug. > We would rather get fewer higher quality and more engaged bugs than > what we've had in the past where bugs were a one way vent. > > To preempt the next question: why don't we allow users to submit via > email but verify with a token?
