[seam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (JBSEAM-4501) Wiki registration spam protection

Wiki registration spam protection --------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-4501 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-4501 Project: Seam Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Wiki Reporter: Christian Bauer Assignee: Christian Bauer Priority: Minor We have to deal with registration spamming on sfwk.org: Bots from the Philippines and India are registering many accounts only to put their spam URLs into the user profile fields. So far we monitor registration via e-mail notification and delete these accounts manually. (After analyzing these requests I have to assume that these are not even robots but paid humans, because I can't imagine someone writing a really perfect robot for our little website, breaking the custom CAPTCHA, faking JSF requests, etc.) A better solution would be to only allow users who participated on the forum/comments to even see or edit these profile fields that accept HTML (user bio, signature). In fact, we have been running with this change for a few weeks now and it significantly reduces the amount of spam registrations. Cleanup and commit. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
