#3496: Update Ask Fedora to askbot 0.7.43+ --------------------------+------------------------------ Reporter: mattdm | Owner: sysadmin-members Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: General | Version: Severity: High | Keywords: Blocked By: | Blocking: --------------------------+------------------------------ = problem =

We have a lot of spam in Ask Fedora. This is bad because:

• spam is evil
• it makes the site look unmaintained
• it buries real questions and answers

= analysis =

Askbot 0.7.43 introduces a "basic moderation" feature (http://askbot.org/doc/moderation.html) which will help mitigate the problem by allowing site members in good standing to flag and, given enough reputation, even delete spam posts.

= enhancement recommendation =

Please update to that version.
