Spam attack on issue tracker

[Wim Deblauwe]

I have the same issue at https://bitbucket.org/wimdeblauwe/jdvp/issues

An easy way to bulk delete those would be great.

Hi @Wim Deblauwe,

Thank you for reaching out.

Just a heads up, I moved your post to a new question for easier tracking.

Our development team can do either of the following:

• flag issues as Spam
• completely remove issues

Please keep in mind that there is a possibility for false positives to be included in the flagging or removal. If you are concerned about irreversible loss, we would suggest requesting flagging, so that you can review the issues.

Before we proceed, please make your issue tracker private to prevent the creation of new spam issues. I will post an update here once our engineering team has mitigated the issue and when it's safe to make your issue tracker public again.

Afterwards, please let me know

• Whether you would like us to proceed with flagging issues as spam in your issue tracker or removing them
• If you would like us to proceed with removal, please provide a range of issue id-s to remove. You could also include issues that you want to be excepted from this ranage. E.g. for the range "200-3700 EXCEPT 3256-3260" we will remove issues with id from 200 until 3700, except for the issues in the range 3256-3260. Ranges should be fully inclusive, meaning the number on both ends will be removed.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions.

Kind regards,
Theodora

Hi,

thank you for helping me out!

I have made the issue tracker private.

You can remove the issues 62-132 completely, they are all spam.

regards,

Wim

Hi @Wim Deblauwe

We'd just like to inform you that we've gone ahead and marked those issues from 62 to 132 as Spam.
Right now, they're flagged as "Spam" issues, meaning, they won't show on your "Open" issues filter.
You can go ahead and review those flagged issues by using the "Spam" in the advanced search.

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Regards,
Mark C
