Can we get rid of the many spammed messages that were repeatedly submitted
to the CLDR bug report listed online?
See:
http://www.unicode.org/cldr/bugs/locale-bugs/return-survey?id=956;page=1;use
r=guest
Note: the survey #956 is valid (speaks about Swiss Franc symbol) but most
responses that were made after it are just garbage (starting at reply #4)
(various porn sites and unsafe banking investments sites... that the Unicode
website should avoid advertising, to avoid cross-referencing in search
engines.)
And take action against the submitters.

"gfnhgfdg(at)garden.net", "iyguiyg(at)yahoo.com", "fdhhjfg(at)msn.com",
"fdsh01dfg(at)hotmail.net", "fdsghdf(at)ganaweb.net",
"Alex22(at)newmsn.com", "Alex38(at)newmsn.com", "Alex54(at)newmsn.com",
"Alex57(at)newmsn.com", "Alex69(at)newmsn.com", "Alex76(at)newmsn.com",
"Alex85(at)newmsn.com", "Alex87(at)newmsn.com", "Alex94(at)newmsn.com",
"Alex95(at)newmsn.com", "Alex98(at)newmsn.com", "John13(at)newmsn.com",
"John15(at)newmsn.com", "Red96(at)newmsn.com",
"insurhancemedicalno(at)msn.com"...
There may be other areas were these spammy users "contributed" and whose
replies should be cleaned up...
In the CLDR report, suspect areas are those that exhibit unusual numbers of
replies.
It seems that the required subscription check and email verification before
submitting replies is missing or not working (possibly a security issue)...
Philippe.
