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

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.
