Moderating the issue tracker

[Ryan Gonzalez]

Considering the recent outbreak involving spam-my "issues" created by users with seemingly drug-induced names ("lapp lapp"? "boom"? really?), I've been wondering if it would be possible for someone to moderate first posts on the issue tracker. For instance, when a new account is created, if the first issue contains "suspicious words" (e.g. the word "support" over ten dozen times), then it would be held in a queue until a mod can verify it's not a spam user. Thoughts?

I'd expect Qt Account system at https://login.qt.io/ to filter those
"accounts" in the first place and remove spam automatically instead of
manual moderation.

@jira-admin, is it possible to stop incoming spam flood somehow?

Indeed. This is pretty bad.

Replying because this is cc'd to a QT account.  Maybe putting a captcha somewhere in the issue tracker would be appropriate.
