Trac seems to think I'm a spambot...?

[Edward Z. Yang]

Is the Akismet filter enabled?  In my experience, combining it with
a technique like NoSpamNX (some sort of "honey-pot" field which wide
range spambots are susceptible to) lowers spam hits to a level where
manually moderating the rest is fine.  If it is too hard for
contributors to mark entries as spam, maybe that's what needs to
be fixed.
