Spammers post heaps of links to commercial web sites (for example, buying medicine and playing casino games) that have nothing at all to do with Blender.

Don't spam the tracker.

Can you give us examples of such pages spammed with commercial links?

I (as well as others) am often on tracker, I see tens of pages each week, and never noticed such issue - and non-registered users cannot post anyway…

I filtered out some obvious spam reports and users when migrating from projects.blender.org, but for sure didn't catch all of it. Searching for "insurance" for examples shows a bunch of spam from 5 years ago. They aren't very harmful and no new ones are coming in, but it would be nice to get rid of them.

If you can find new spam, please point us to it.

At the moment I don't have the time to go through 30k reports and find the spam. If someone likes to help out with this, manually creating a list of these spam reports or some more automated solution could be used. If I have the list of task IDs I can zap them from the database.

Ah, yes, indeed, mostly old stuff…

Here is a list of 834 reports (used "insurance", "viagra", "girl" and "casinos", before realizing "href" was The One™ - more than 800, with very few false positives… ;) ): bug_to_erase.txt

Verified and removed those from the database now, so marking as resolved, can reopen if more spam is found.

I'll remove those, thanks.

projects.blender.org is read-only and archived at the moment so nothing will be changed there anymore.

These reports numbers have already been deleted on developer.blender.org it seems, and I intend to leave projects.blender.org archived as is, without trying to clean up the spam there. It will not get indexed by search engines anymore, so no one will benefit from any of the spam there.
