Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?
Have captcha and email enabled before the creation of this account (email:
kanaloa.javeon@findours.com
).Already had before without captcha a similar surrogacy ad.
Should send me a notification on new gitea user.Done.Can view to quickly see such new users: https://gitea.lemnoslife.com/admin/users
Can we get their IPs? To potentially drop their traffic if they always use the same IP, as it seems to be done by a single entity.
Another case with email
josephpaul@yopmail.com
.Can we also use a inter-instances connected captcha? For instance hCaptcha backend might detect a spammer sending one message per instance.
Thanks to:
in
/var/log/nginx/
it brought up the IP209.95.53.223
at the same moment the post was created.So thanks to:
find these logs in
access.log.1
:As the first line shows, it seems to be the same person every time.

Let say

captcha is too easy, let's move to hcaptcha and could setPassing Threshold
toDifficult
if spam continues.Let's try to avoid banning a single IP, as it's quite easy to circumvent that.
samuelmegan@yopmail.com
I increased hCatpcha difficulty to difficult.
Could then try reCaptcha.

Could consider
EMAIL_DOMAIN_BLACKLIST
.Could also consider disabling registration (
DISABLE_REGISTRATION
) but instead put a message to contact me to get an account, or could useREGISTER_MANUAL_CONFIRM
but then may be spammed with account requests.Should deepen
DEFAULT_USER_IS_RESTRICTED
.Got spammed again, so disabled registrations.
As a result I added communication means to my profile for people really interested in having an account, would be nice to change the registration message error, but it doesn't seem possible currently.
