Req #2308 [Asn->Csd]: Either remove "email via web form" or add warning

Edit report at http://pear.php.net/bugs/bug.php?id=2308&edit=1 ID: 2308 Updated by: helgi@trance.is Reported By: avb at php dot net -Status: Assigned +Status: Closed Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Web Site PHP Version: Irrelevant Assigned To: dufuz New Comment: Seems that this is enough for now, just open this again if something else is slipping by :) But of course like stated before people can be very ignorent and still post even though there is a big red blinking text about not emailing ;) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-10-25 06:18:17] helgi at trance dot is I made the sentence bold and 110% in font-size, but red I'm not going to add, thus trying to keep the friendly concept everyone wanted. Of course when though I'd change the font-size to 500% and make it red and blink, some users will still email, but let us know if this doesn't at least reduce those emails, if not then I'll consider something more drastic. Klaus: We already have CAPTCHA, the checkbox I don't want to add just yet if it doesn't have to, and regarding the email stuff, think you should raise that issue on pear-webmaster, since this is a little sensetive matter I guess. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-10-25 06:11:59] klaus at capitalfocus dot org Maybe we could make two changes: 1) Use CAPTCHA and a checkbox to ensure people actually _read_ the text and that robot submissions don't get through. 2) For logged in devs, provide the real email address in addition to the form (captcha could be omitted). Btw, Alexey, it might just be that you have such popular packages that no one else is getting bothered in the same way. I have only had 2 or 3 submissions via the web form, offering help and suggestions for my packages. I guess other people just aren't being bothered enough yet. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-10-25 05:31:44] borz_off at cs dot msu dot su Seems the letters are not yet BIG and RED enough: [This message has been brought to you via pear.php.net.] Hello, I have to display a list of item in HTML with <ul> and <li>. The data are in array like this: array( [e1] => array( [sube1] => 'sube1', [sube2] => 'sube2', [sube3] => array( [subsub1], 'subsub1' ) ), [e2] => 'e2' ) And I don't know how many level there is. Can I do that with Sigma? Thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-10-21 01:55:18] helgi at trance dot is This bug has been fixed in CVS. In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up at the end of next Sunday (CET) on pear.php.net. In case this was a pear.php.net website problem, the change will show up on the website in short time. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PEAR better. added a note about emailing pear-general if the person needs support, should keep everyone happy, if not then reopen this feature request and state why. Thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-10-20 15:02:35] helgi at trance dot is Thanks for reminding us of this, I'll try to handle this, this evening, I'll add a big red warning and probably a checkbox which has to be unchecked to email. Though I feel the same regarding that this is a misfeature in a way, I hope this will be enough for the time being, but I was thinking of looking into the possibility that if a person hides his email only a pear dev or higher can actually reach this email form. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
