2016-08-24 20:22:46 Colin Watson description New problem with our spammers: Now they reject valid questions, so they are no longer visible in the list, and then mark themselves as the person who has solved the question. Fun fact: Even after I have added myself as an answer contact, I cannot change the status back to 'Answered'. Examples: https://answers.launchpad.net/inkscape/+question/361844 https://answers.launchpad.net/inkscape/+question/361147 Would it be possible to allow these things only to a certain set of people, and to only allow 'anyone' to ask and answer questions? It's annoying enough that way.
