Hi,
I've been trying to register a new account on GHC Trac in order to submit a bug report, and I'm getting the following error:
Submission rejected as potential spam SpamBayes determined spam probability of 90.82%
Oh dear, very sorry about that. I've adjusted the spam filter configuration; can you try again?
Could this be a bug or issue with a recent release of the Trac software? I've noticed people complaining about the same problem on other websites that use Trac, e.g.:
It's not a bug; it's just that spammers are quite good at emulating humans and unfortunately Trac doesn't have very strong tools for catching them. We use a Bayesian spam classifier to catch Trac spam, but sadly it's imperfect. Thanks for bringing up your issue! Cheers, - Ben
