[Sugar-devel] [Trac] Going to prune user accounts; "moderating" new user posts

[Sascha Silbe]

Dear users of our fine bug tracker,

In order to better deal with spammers, we're going to "moderate" [1] the 
posts of new users on Trac (bugs.sugarlabs.org).
Once the first post has been accepted, all future submissions will go 
through unfiltered. Assuming spammers won't do the effort of submitting 
"valid" content first, this should enable us to filter out virtually all 
SPAM while keeping the administration overhead at a minimum.

In preparation for this change, I'm going to do some spring cleaning on 
the account database. Any user that hasn't made a single change so far 
will be deleted (488 accounts as of my last check). Changes specifically 
include adding oneself to CC.
All remaining users (199 as of my last check) will be be added to the 
"unmoderated" group, so nothing changes for them.

I don't expect this to affect any real user, but figured an advance 
warning never hurts. :)
