There is a moderate quantity of spam comments appearing on some Polarsys.org pages. Despite the relatively limited absolute numbers, they often make a relative majority of the comments in those pages. See e.g.
https://www.polarsys.org/proposals/opencert https://www.polarsys.org/proposals/eclipse-safety-framework

Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

I disabled the permission that allows all users to submit comment without moderation.

Also, all comments are unpublished. We will need to review all the comments on the site and publish all comments that are not spam.

I am upping the priority since we don't want spam on our website.

Closing this bug since we are in the middle of shutting down polarsys.org WG website:

Comments are disabled and We don't have any plan on migrating them.
