    I thought new users couldn't generate so many posts so quickly? I feel sorry for the unsuspecting users getting such nasty notifications.

    Hey jscher2000,

    I have already taken care of it. I believe I sent you a PM regarding it.

    I will mark this as [Attn Admin]

    There is also a related thread in the private moderators forum /forums/forum-moderators/709969 Thanks for flagging the spam for attention.

    The posters concerned are no longer active on the forum.

    You mean you do not log post deletions ?

    You could look at the user deactivation log and at least see the number of users deactivated.

    Also see comments in the private Mods forum. That may give you some order of magnitude clues.

    Hmm, I read through the posts and I can't tell where the spammers were spamming. Was it here in the discussion forums or in the support forum?

    Ricky.

    I was the one who took down all the spam posts and deactivated three users, there were probably about 10-15 post each regarding Hitler and blows at current and past Mozilla employees, and Australis' design.

    The posts were in the support forum on various threads. Here is the info from a thread i started in Mods about it:
    If anyone wants to see what they wrote:

    http://pastebin.com/CSsaEys4 belongs to user https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/user/1046723

    http://pastebin.com/vLeD89FW belongs to user https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/user/1051846

    Also, when I last checked, the threads were about 5-10 minutes apart. I could be wrong but that's what I saw before I deleted posts.

    We now have a log for deactivated users and there will probably other logs created. How about one log for all different log actions that can be filtered via selection check-boxes to show specific actions and possibly a date range selection via a calendar and sortable via column headers.
    Then only one database would have to be maintained and it is easy to expand the log to include more actions and have all logs accessible via one page instead of separate logs and pages for each action. Actions could include:
    • deactivated users
    • deleted threads
    • deleted replies
    • flagged content that has been handled and now longer shows as flagged
    • solutions mutation (solved and undo actions)
    If there are already existing other logs then those could be included as well. How many entries will there be on one page?
    Hundred or less or customizable?

    There is currently an Older button on the deactivation_log page, so the limit appears to be 50 entries per page.

    Do we need that much padding (padding:10px) on that page?

    Latest bug after another mass spamming

    I guess we need Madalina to get behind any new bugs* so they stand a chance of being put in sprints and actioned. At present we seem to have gone in a circle with only some bugs fixed.

    * New bugs Kadir said 30th Jan
    With new features it's usually something that goes through the champion of a certain area. In case of the forums that's Madalina. If you have feature requests, you should talk to her first, then file a bug and I'll take care of making sure it's implemented soon.

    This is thread is currently marked [Attn Admin] so hopefully Madalina will pick this up and comment.

    To summarize what I think happened:

    • one ore more users wrote posts that were insulting Mozilla employees or were spam
    • Those posts were (primarily) written as replies to existing questions in the support forum.
    • There were about 25 of those posts within a short time frame.

    If that observation is correct: That's well within our rate limiting. Those limits protect us against bots flooding the forums and making them unusable, but can't prevent individuals from causing damage. Specifically, we are limiting new questions to 5 a day and replies to 4 per minute and 100 total per day. Not enough for a bot to cause big damage, but apparently enough for a driven individual to cause some damage. That's the kind of balance we have to strike to keep the forums open for new contributors. Of course, we can make it easier to clean up the mess these spammers cause.

    I cc:d madalina on those two bugs and posted a comment with a link to this discussion.

    Just to clarify, I as a forum champion can only comment if I agree on a feature or not and give the green light for it.

    We will still need sumo-dev to decide if something is feasible from a technical point of view (and doesn't break anything) and also Kadir, as a project manager, to assign, prioritize and schedule the sprints.

    So all of us will always need to be in the loop as we cannot do anything one without the other.

    Alice, I see the bugs you mention are essentially both blocked so let's see how that evolves.

    Madalina,
    Are you not able to coordinate this effort with other stakeholders and get some action.
    As it stands

    • Things may get sorted within a couple of sprints
    • Or may evolve
      That sounds like a euphemism meaning hang on another for a couple of years again being discussed without any effective action being taken. Then the cycle begins from scratch and repeats the same discussions again.

    At least Bug 939938 although unasigned is now pencilled in for sprint 2014.5

    Evolution requires pressure & selection. Dead bugs do not evolve!

    As I understand it

    • Devs are asking have we
      • identified the problems needing solutions
      • and have we got any metrics.
    • Kadir as project manager has indicated the forum Champion needs to approve and push bugs
    • Blocked bugs are blocked for a specific reason i.e. another outstanding bug
      • In that case the outstanding bug needs addressing urgently, and we need plans for whatever the resulting metrics.
      • OR we re-analyse the situation and find an alternative strategy or solution
        AND then take action to move quickly in that direction filing new bugs if necessary
      • I have already suggested a three tier rate limiting. That avoids the problem of adaptive limiting.
      • Alice has linked to a prior thread suggesting we delay sending email notifications. OR send emails that link back but do not copy potential spam. (In this context spam is any content posted by a spammer. I am NOT suggesting software rules detect and identify spam )

    What are our plans ?

    1. Bug 726941 - Add a way to Close SUMO account reopened and assigned sprint 2014.3 IMPORTANT first comment #c1
      Technically, we don't ever delete accounts anymore. It caused a big pile of issues. If a user really wants their data gone we will anonymize it so it's not their data anymore. We'll respect that wish the first time, though.

    7. Bug 969271 - Track whether people are reading forum emails may be heading to wontfix
      The primary purpose of this bug is relating to feedback. Would it also generate metrics useful when evaluating spam impact ?
