Spam Issues

[Marcel Woschek]

Could somebody please do something against this question spamming that is happening right now?

There are more spam questions than normal questions...

I do as well.

Nic has reported the problem previously, and the issue was moved about a week ago from there (CQ-1679) to the main Confluence team's project as https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-47728 so hopefully that is some indication that it will be actively worked on in the near future.

I ban them as fast as I can but that's after-the-fact - the emails have gone out.

I'm just an end user, like you, so I have no way to improve the system.  If it were me, I'd have written a filtering thing that does a simple check on a question by new users and doesn't post if it contains anything resembling contact details or blocks of text that don't look like natural language (with a nice message back explaining it)
