[Project-managers] Spam in the tickets -- again

[Matthew Saltzman]

I have installed the TracTicketDelete plugin.

1. Log into your project's Trac page.
2. If you are the Trac admin for your page, you will see the Admin link in 
the menu bar at the top.  Click it.

THEN

3a. In the left menu bar, you will see a Delete Changes entry under the 
Ticket System header.  Click it.
4a. Enter the number of the ticket to be modified in the blank field.
5a. You will see a list with check boxes of comments in the ticket field. 
You can either delete change records or comments one at a time, or you can 
check the ones to be deleted and delete them all at once with the button 
at the bottom

OR

3b. Alternatively, you can click Delete in the left menu bar.
4b. Enter the ticket ID (twice) and click the button.

Note that it is considered preferable to delete the spam comments and mark 
the ticket as invaild, rather than to delete the ticket.

There are some more changes in the works that should help prevent some of 
these attacks in the first place.

Thanks for your patience.
