Important change regarding submitting bug reports and feature requests

[Tony M. <to...@sp...>]

Unfortunately, ever since the change from the old SourceForge ticket
system (which handles bug reports and feature requests) to the new
SourceForge-hosted Trac system, there have been a steady number of
spam tickets created.

Although it would be quite simple to detect these problem tickets
automatically (especially for an anti-spam project!), the hosted Trac
that SourceForge provides doesn't allow modifications like this.  That
means that currently the only solution is to manually close the
tickets.

Manually closing the tickets works, but the spam tickets are visible
for a short period of time (until a human has time to see and close
them), and since tickets cannot be deleted, they are always in the
system and will show up in reports and searches.

After discussion on the pyzor-users list, the only viable solution
appears to be to remove the ability for anonymous users to submit and
modify tickets.

This means that as of now, if you want to submit a bug report or
feature request for pyzor, you will need to log in to SourceForge to
do so.  You can use a SourceForge account, or any OpenID id to do
this.

We apologise for the inconvenience, and hope that this will not stop
anyone from submitting bugs, patches, and feature requests.  If you
can't or won't log in for some reason, then you can post your
information to the pyzor-users mailing list and I'll create the ticket
for you (but obviously I would prefer that you created it yourself).

Thanks,
Tony, on behalf of the pyzor team.
