Hello, I have been having to deal with some idiot who is pissed off in the aur for some reason. He keeps marking all my packages out of date. And somehow he is able to continually do this even after I have suspended his account. I am not sure if this is because of the cookie still working and him still being logged in.
Would it be possible to add captchas to flag packages out of date, or to make it so that suspending an account kills the cookie?
Maybe I missed something... I want to get back to the fact, that the user could flag packages after he was suspended. In January, canyonknight committed a patch for this specific problem[1]: "A suspended user can stay in active sessions. Introduce new function delete_user_sessions to remove all open sessions for a specific user. Allows suspensions to take effect immediately."
Yes, that patch should immediately suspend a user account. There hasn't been a new AUR release since that was committed, so I don't believe it was applied to the official AUR setup.
Ah you're right, didn't check that. So THIS issue will be solved with the next release I guess.
Thanks for confirming that my patch works!
You're welcome. -- IP banning sounds nice, but is this often needed? I don't know how many spammers are there in a month/ a year. Perhaps it would measure up the needs if one make flagging many packages in a very short time as hard as possible and have the possibility to roll back user actions easily. I don't know if this whole thing of abusing rights is a huge problem at all, I'm new to this.
