Spam on the issue tracker

[Sven Selberg]

Hi,

What is the procedure for dealing with spam on the issue-tracker:
1. Delete comment

2. Flag comment

3. Add sender to some sort of blocklist

4. ?

Hi,

Sven Selberg asked:

Flagging a comment or issue (as appropriate) is best. That deletes it immediately and also provides input into the spam filter.

Thanks,

Jonathan

[Sven Selberg]

Thanks, Done!

@Jonathan: as a non-project member, does flagging actually help? I've been flagging a lot of coments/issues when I encounter them, but I have the impression that they might not be reviewed (I might be wrong!).

Thanks in advance!

Flagging something as a non-committers causes it to go into the spam moderation queue. Then someone with the ModerateSpam permission can confirm/deny the flag and cause it to disappear.

People with ModerateSpam permission can see the queue at https://bugs.chromium.org/p/gerrit/spamqueue. Alas, I don't think anyone has been doing that lately. Thanks for catching that.

Can/should more folks get added with that perm? For example, me :)

Thanks for clarifying. I believe nobody of the Gerrit project was aware that this is how it's working.

Yes, nobody looked at this in a very long time. I started to clean up issues, but the UI doesn't seem to work for me. After marking issues as spam/ham they are always reappearing in the list (e.g. after refresh), so I lost my motivation to continue...

This permission is already assigned for the maintainers group, but I also assigned it explicitly to you now.

Thanks, looks like it’s working now. Before I was seeing a permissions error.

Thanks for confirming.

Oh well, I now assigned this permission directly to all the maintainers.

First of all, thanks Jonathan and Edwin for your replies! :)

I'm hosting my own Monorail instance (https://bugs.avm99963.com) and there I can review the moderation queue correctly (issues don't reappear after refreshing).

Maybe it would be worth opening a new issue for Monorail and investigate this?

It seems like the Monorail development is almost stale (except for bug fixes), but I could definitely have a stab at trying to fix this and submit a CL. I've had to read a lot of Monorail code while trying to set up my Monorail server so it only uses 1 App Engine instance, so at least I have a little bit of experience with its codebase :)

Oh sure, sorry for doing this only now.
