[Bug 266873] Re: Patch to help report spam in moderator queue

[Debra Virden]

** Description changed:

  You're moderating one of your lists, looking at the 'admindbsummary' page.
  You're already ticked 'accept' to all the non-spam entries and clicked
  submit. You're now left with a queue consisting only of spam.
  
  Some days, you feel calm and rational and just delete the rest using the
  handy 'discard all deferred' tickboxes and move on. Other times, you have
  spam-rage and feel frustrated that it's not trivial to forward all this
  spam on to a reporting service, such as Spamcop or Knujon (or whatever else
  comes along) and help those who do have more time and resources to hunt
- down and shut down these bastards. The problem is that you'd have to go
+ down and shut down these trouble makers. The problem is that you'd have to go
  through the list, ticking 'forward to' and cutting'n'pasting your spam
  submission address(es) in for the whole list manually before you can submit
  it.
  
  One solution would be to add another tickbox like 'report all deferred' and
  do some server-side patching to act on the tickbox. A quicker (dirtier?)
  solution is just to add a few lines of Javascript to the 'admindbsummary'
  page to automate the task client-side. I added the following to the
  template on my home server:
  
  <script type="text/javascript"><!--
  function sendspamto() {
- 	email = document.getElementById("fwdspamto").value;
- 	for (elnum in document.forms[1].elements) {
- 		elem = document.forms[1].elements[elnum];
- 		name = elem.name;
- 		if(name.substr(0, 14) == 'senderforward-') {
- 			elem.checked = true;
- 		}
- 		if(name.substr(0, 16) == 'senderforwardto-') {
- 			elem.value = email;
- 		}
- 	}
+  email = document.getElementById("fwdspamto").value;
+  for (elnum in document.forms[1].elements) {
+   elem = document.forms[1].elements[elnum];
+   name = elem.name;
+   if(name.substr(0, 14) == 'senderforward-') {
+    elem.checked = true;
+   }
+   if(name.substr(0, 16) == 'senderforwardto-') {
+    elem.value = email;
+   }
+  }
  }
  --></script>
  <form method="GET" action="javascript: sendspamto(); return false;">
  <p><b>Forward spam</b> to : <input id="fwdspamto"
  value="knujon at coldrain.net"/> <input type="submit" value="Set"
  onclick="sendspamto()"/></p>
  </form>
- 
  
  If someone wants to take the above, polish it or whatever and use it in
  upstream mailman that'd make my (and probably a few thousands other
  moderators) lives a little easier :)
  
  Otherwise, please feel free to put it in the FAQ for others to use as they
  wish.
