I've closed all tasks created by the bot and delete the comments he made on existing tasks. I also changed his pass and email address, so he cannot login again. Unfortunately seems Flyspray doesn't allow to ban users, nor delete tasks. If anyone wants to investigate how to more permanently delete this spam information please do so. I guess there can be scripts to run on the db created by someone facing the same issue.

Next spammer: zunse (http://docs.hydlaaplaza.com/flyspray/index.php?opened=1445).

If he didn't hack in, but just automatically registered, we may have to switch to manually approved registrations - if possible.

I've enabled recaptcha now in the registration. I'm discussing with the flyspray guys to find a solution for tasks/comments deletion, as at the moment is not possible from the UI.

It is kind of sad really, the tracker can't be considered a high value target so it is likely a disgruntled ex-shifter.

Talad gave me some scripts to run from the flyspray guys. So I am going to try to do that over my lunch break tomorrow sometime ( depending on how busy I am )

According to the amount of time you spend with us, you seem to be "busy to the brim"...  :(

As disgruntled as I may be,
I guarantee it wasn't me!!

I've deleted the spam tasks and comment that I could find.  Let me know if you find any more.

Hi,

I got the spammer also in my inbox :) Which is funny since I am not even authorized any longer to login into the bugtracker (that I suggested to use). Which is a very much a pity and a bug at the same time!
I receive the bugtracker updates, but I can't access the bugtracker!

Greetings to everyone who remember me :-)
Curtseys,
AryHann

Perhaps an administrator would be so kind as to remove your email address from the flyspray db. It shouldn't be too hard.
