??changed:
-There are already mecanism to stop spam, based on so-called "IP blacklists", 
but they are not used at Savannah, people they are blocking people from login 
in, and black lists tend to be more and more "white lists" (that is, wide IP 
ranges are blacklisted and people need to do some work to get unlisted, which 
is essentially whitelisting).
-
-Currently there's a simple "type 421" here box for anonymous posters, which 
seems to work well, but spammers now tend to create users accounts anyway.
Problem spam on Savannah comes not from email spam but instead in the form of 
web posts.  Currently there's a simple "type 421" captcha-style box for 
anonymous posters.  This seems to work well.  But spammers now tend to create 
users accounts anyway.  After creating an account there is no longer any 
automated blocks to posting and this includes posting spam.  A voting mechanism 
to remove spam exists.  Project owners can vote spam out in one vote.  Others 
require multiple votes to hide posted spam.
