That's trivial for a project manager to fix. And at least for svn, it's always the same anyway:

svn co http://svn.dsource.org/projects/{project name, just look at the project site's URL}/trunk WhereYouWantIt

Also, the idea that not having a choice of VCS is somehow better than a project needing to say which VCS it uses is pure absurdity.

I've seen it in some other projects but I can't remember the names right now. There was also spam in the forums but I think that was taken care of.

Regardless, the site is barely maintained. How is one to figure out which projects are active, or which are D1 or D2 only?

Nick,

Your projects may have not been spammed, but I think it's more likely that I removed the spam before you had a chance to see it.

This topic is just the tip of the iceberg: http://www.dsource.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5127

The Mango project's forum had probably been the target of the most spam since it's at the top of the forum list, but I think that most projects have probably been affected. I suspect that some of the moderators catch spam in their forums and deal with it, but many moderators have inactive project forums where the spam could just sit trying to increase PageRank for somebody's random e-commerce website or generate clicks or whatever the spammer's goal is.

I've just manually closed the spam tickets for QtD, but this is not a very enjoyable way to spend your time…

David, should I use bitbucket for any new tickets? As a side-note, I've been having some runtime problems trying to use slots and signals. I've posted about them in the forums http://www.dsource.org/forums/viewforum.php?f=237 . When you have some free time could you take a look? Thanks for maintaining QtD btw.

That can be handled in other ways, such as CAPTCHA. There's no need to ban mailinator addresses.

Hi Andrej,

please use the issue tracker at DSource for the time being. I'll have a look at your posts when I find some time – I don't think anybody really monitors the forums at DSource.

Also, I'm only helping Eldar and Max out here and there… ;)

David

Thanks to those guys as well. I'll post my problems to the issue tracker.

Ok you don't have to look in the forums, I've opened up a ticket: http://www.dsource.org/projects/qtd/ticket/84
