[Bug 608535] New: Spam protection when giving a comment often doesn't work
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=608535 http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=608535#c0 Summary: Spam protection when giving a comment often doesn't work Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE.org Version: unspecified Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Infrastructure AssignedTo: mrueckert@novell.com ReportedBy: michl@novell.com QAContact: lrupp@novell.com CC: aj@novell.com, freitag@novell.com, mehle@novell.com Found By: Community User Blocker: No When giving a comment on news entries spam protection asks these "Sum of t-hree + s-even ?" questions. The answer to that is really challenging as it is not clear in which format it should be given (10, ten, t-en ?) and regardless of the correct answer in any format it often doesn't work, it says something like "wrong result". This is really annoying and a show stopper for community contribution in the project. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I have noticed this problem on all the blogs with this spam plugin, and it is not a new issue. Doing a hard refresh on the page usually resolves the problem, as it sets a new math question for you.
Since this is a problem with the plugin, we can either try to find a different spam protection option or we can have someone try to fix it and send a patch back to the developer.
I experienced this differently. Refreshing the page ("Upper Case" Reload Page) didn't help in several cases I experienced. I just gave up after 10 minutes of trying to solve f-ive + e-ight :-( and didn't comment. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Actually, I think you're right. You might have to start a whole new session to get it to work. It's been a number of months since I have seen this happen, since I don't comment a whole lot on the blogs.
In any case, I agree that it can be extremely annoying to end users. I thought that the issue was already known, so that is my mistake for not reporting it myself last fall.
Matthew, this is not your fault - this is kind of the fault of some hundred people including myself. I experienced this for the first time at least a year ago and I know from several people who know that it doesn't work but haven't opened a bug yet. Conclusion: look ahead and fix this. :-) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
