Increased spam level

Hello, just curious as to why there are suddenly so many accounts spamming on here at the moment?

Hi,

I’v no answer for you on this one, but I was just doing my part, and flagging everyone for Spam, when I got hit by:

You’ve performed this action too many times. Please wait 12 minutes before trying again.

Well, okay, I’m not flagging them then…

oh dear, that’s not good, thanks for trying!

I’ve forgotten the process for how I signed up for the community forum so may be it’s open to anyone regardless of whether they’re in Rubin/LSST.

By default, all new users start out at trust level 0, meaning trust has yet to be earned. These are visitors who just created an account, and are still learning the community norms and the way your community works. New users’ abilities are restricted for safety. As they progress, their abilities increase:

This is good strategy. In this case, it should be slightly modified, so at the beginning, their posts should be approved by moderator until they get some trust/reputation. After that, moderation can be turned off.
