I have that strong feeling that if we remove Facebook and Yahoo from login/sign-up options, the things will be much better.
Can we do that, even as a test/trial and see how it goes?
How exactly would you test this? You don't know when the spammer is going to post. If you're advising that we just switch them off and wait for a month, I'm not sure if it's a very good idea - I'd expect quite a few users using these authentication methods. The issue is that we haven't info on our userbase - who is using what, how many are using what. If we can narrow down the methods that the spammer is using, we can work on something to limit them. -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD"
Earlier today, Kevin was kind enough to sponsor me for sysadmin-ask and pkg commits on askbot. I'm going to try my hand at rebasing our patches to the latest upstream release, in a few hours or tomorrow. There will be a feature branch if you want to watch it unfold.
I plan to poke at the django admin views as well. there's a view for auth/user pairings, for example, but it isn't searchable. I don't see an immediate way to list blocked users. If you can think of other ways to look at the data that would help, speak up :)
