Hi all,

I’m keen to help out, so I went to look at the tickets in Trac.  
Lots of spam. I’m keen to clean it out.

What is the best way? I could Resolve as invalid.

Any suggestions?

Nahtan

Please do! Be careful that you don’t close real tickets that have  
been spammed, as sometimes the spam-bot will change the summary etc.  
And also mark them with [SPAM] in the summary.

comment/trac spam is one of the few things that really gets up my  
nose 🙂
