Description Matthew Miller 2012-10-03 19:13:25 UTC
See: https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/3496


Problem
=======

We have a lot of spam in Ask Fedora. This is bad because:

* spam is evil
* it makes the site look unmaintained
* it buries real questions and answers 

Analysis
========

Askbot 0.7.43 introduces a "basic moderation" feature (​http://askbot.org/doc/moderation.html) which will help mitigate the problem by allowing site members in good standing to flag and, given enough reputation, even delete spam posts.

Enhancement recommendation
==========================

Please update to that version.

Comment 1 Matthew Miller 2012-10-03 19:15:22 UTC
One concern is that apparently upgrading Askbot involves running a database sync command, the changelog for 0.7.40 includes "New data models!!!", which makes me cautious about introducting an upgrade to EPEL.

Comment 2 Matthias Runge 2012-12-14 09:25:55 UTC
I'd recommend to wait, until askbot supports Django-1.4. Django-1.3 is being deprecated by upstream, when django-1.5 is released. That'll be around Christmas 2012.

Comment 3 Rahul Sundaram 2013-02-05 23:26:49 UTC
@Matthias, do you have info on the current status?

Comment 4 Matthias Runge 2013-02-06 08:12:07 UTC
Django-1.5 is expected in two weeks or so;
we have Django14 and django (version 1.3) in EPEL.

The changelog lists, Django-1.4 is supported now; I don't know, if there's a migration between different database versions. Also, I think dependencies have changed. Just updating in EPEL will break peoples installations.
