[GNC] Has bugs-admin been hacked? Re: [Bug 797953] RFE: provide access to filter-by on right-mouse-click in Accounts register

[Frank H. Ellenberger]

Hi Michael,

there is no hack.Every body can create a bugzilla account and write
nonsense there. Because the treshold is low - no captchas  etc. -
recently some "Search engine optimizers (SEOs)" found it a cheap way to
propagate their client's URLs.

It is not only GnuCash affected, it is a wave rolling through the net.

It is usually fixed after short time, see
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Bugzilla_Administration#Pending_Tasks

In my feeling SEOs are thieves stealing developer time!
