@joshua_davis i deleted the three identical spam comments in Russian that were just left on the site despite our spam protections.

I was notified along with quite a few other people as it is currently configured to notify everyone with the role of manager

Comment notifications can be configured to notify people in a role or just specific e-mail addresses, but also possibly not so many people should have the manager role? (Block placement, configuration of stuff like who gets notified about comments, user management, etc.)

Also reminder that the current policy is that everything is published right away, but we can change that so that comments are moderated, and are only published after someone reviews.

Just deleted two more russian spam comments, so I think we'll need to
have me approve them before they get posted.

I cannot change anybody's roles right now. I can only disable their
account all together. This is a high-priority issue, as waaaaay too many
people have the manager role now. Comment notifications should go to
editors@geo..., or just myself, Ajowa, and Jim, if that's how it has to
be configured.

@joshua_davis oh i forgot to mention that you can change user roles now, to make the list of who should be manager (everything you can do), who should be editor (edit or create any content), who should be contributor (can create their own content and edit it), who should be blogger (can only create and edit their own blog posts).

@joshua_davis are you comfortable changing the user roles from manager to a less privileged role, or do you need help understanding the permissions?

@joshua_davis @FreeScholar the other matter that came up here (https://gitlab.com/agaric/sites/geo/issues/78#note_225791909), that the Russion spam comments evading the honeypot spam trap on the site fairly regularly, has now been addressed with a change in permissions to allow only authenticated users to bypass commenting. Note that given the decision in #82 no regular visitors will in fact become authenticated users.
