Yeah since i made the site accessible via http as welll as https we
seem to have seen some spam - or maybe the project is so widely known
about we're getting spammed ;)

Anyway I've started some counter-measures:
1) I''ve installed a rewrite rule for all ticket accesses to go thru https only.
2) I installed the TicketDeletePlugin so we ca get rid of this stuff
(Trac doesn't provide for comment deletion as default)

I will see how  this helps - If we see more spam then I will look at
installing mod_security on apache, and we will also look at some spam
filters - there's a plugin for trac 0.10 but we're not currently
running 0.10. But there's also other patches for 0.9 for spam
reduction.

Fingers crossed !

Piers
