Here's what that comment, by Ingo, says (writing in 2018). >> Please refrain from littering the bugtracker with reports that >> require absolutely no effort to find.

That might be appropriate, too, but i'm not sure. I guess we've discovered one of the consequences--maybe the only one, at least when a submitter's spam score is a mere "1". > Can this message be avoided as the content is never spam, Ingo obviously disagrees, since he proposed deleting your submitted tickets wholly. > just "critical". I would agree that your ticket submissions are not confusable with the unsolicited commercial email and other transmissions of which I get notified now that I'm a moderator of groff's mailing lists. I don't know where the UI control is for editing the spam score apparently associated with your Savannah account, nor even whether I have authority to do so. Is the notification Savannah presents you in the web UI important? Regards, Branden
