#8474 Block troll user from bugzilla
Closed: Fixed 4 years ago by kevin. Opened 4 years ago by spot.

There is a troll who keeps posting total nonsense (and racist/offensive trash) in bugzilla (that really feels like it's being generated from a machine learning algorithm) and refuses to provide useful information when prompted. They seem to enjoy opening bugs against chromium. They have a few accounts, and it would be greatly appreciated if they could all be blocked from bugzilla (a shadowban would be ideal, but an outright ban will suffice):

  • lfytk@outlook.com
  • fakenxid@hotmail.com

Some of the "bugs" they've opened:

I asked bugzilla admins to do this in the past, but they were reluctant... I'll ask again.

Well, they posted comments yesterday, but now their account seems to be a random string... so maybe this is fixed? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1714149

It seems to be.

Also, note:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/page.cgi?id=faq.html#getting-help-spam1

marking comments as 'spam' should get the plugin to block them automatically.
