How to disable the Report an Issue in footer

Question

If someone goes to our url there is a link in the footer "Report an Issues" this generates an email to anyone setup as an Administrator. We have been receiving spam emails lately.

We host JIRA and non of our users need this link. is there a way to remove, disable, or hide this link?

Dear @Don Wood ,

unfortunately this seems not to be possible: JRASERVER-7266. But please vote for this.

Thanks, but I want to remove the link completely, not have a different template.

Dear  @Don Wood ,

there are email templates located in the binary tree of Jira. You can modify them to your needs following this article.

Note: On an update, they will get overwritten. So make sure to save your modifications with "diff" tool. Then you can apply them later with the "patch" tool (unix/linux).

So long
