Description DEMAINE Benoît-Pierre, aka DoubleHP 2006-05-20 00:42:45 UTC

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=96893 comments 12 and 13 and in Latin. I can not understand this kind of Latin, but I know it is Latin, and not Church Latin.

Whatever it tells about, computing or not, that langage is not apropriate for use in a non localised topic such as CA-cert, and maybe not in bugzilla generally speaking.

Those two messages take more room on screen than the 11 previous ones.

Please ban the guy, and ask admins to remove those two messages.

Actually, that isn't even meaningful. That type of Latin - starting with "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..." - is a totally nonsense type of Latin typically used to pad out layouts to simulate normal text. You can read about it at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorem_ipsum .

Bear in mind that it could have been a mistake on Jakub's part, or maybe someone got into his account. He's a Gentoo dev, after all, so I was very surprised to see those nonsense posts.

I'm not sure what to do about the general problem of non-English comments.

Comment 2 DEMAINE Benoît-Pierre, aka DoubleHP 2006-05-20 01:15:35 UTC

to me, a bug not dealing with a localosation problem *should* always be detailed in english.

It is essential to me that the accound is banned UNTIL the guy changes his password, or the failure in the system is found. Then, the account can be later unbanned ... "bann" in not "life time bann".

We need admins anay way to delete those comments, and get them track how this accound have been used (created for that ? stolen password ? backdoor inside bugzilla itself (or on host servers) ? )

I can't wait to hear jakubs reply to this one... ;)

Quod licet Iovi, non licet bovi... :P

Long story short - name-based SSL vhosts suck (https://bugstest.gentoo.org). 

Closing this one CANTFIX, there's no language-recognition engine in Bugzilla. Thanks for the good laugh though. :=)))
