Spam Public Storm Report Issue

Youngling Posts: 1 Join Date: 12/27/16 Recent Posts

We have been receiving spam, bogus storm reports from a specific IP address recently at MRX. I'll try to attach an example. Is there a way to block an IP address, and if not, is that a feature being considered in the future?

 

The ability for the public to quickly submit geolocated storm reports and quickly process them into LSRs on our end is very beneficial. It would be nice to be able to block spam report offenders from the system.

 

Thanks,

Jeremy

Hi Jeremy,

I will include something in the next build to allow an abusive user to be blocked or unblocked.

Thanks,
Matt
