We've had a lot of trouble with spoofed IDs, and also with emails that were not
possible to spam decode, or not possible for LUGNET itself to parse properly,
which is not really related to whether someone has made a donation or not.
Todd took the decision that a human needs to look at each one to decide if it's
legit. I am not going to comment on whether it's automatable or not, although I
think it would be an interesting science project, codewise to get one that has
less false positives than a human would.
Certainly more people could do it, but as of right now, there are only 3 people
that do, and the other two haven't been doing it at all. That's not fault,
that's just how it is.

Track in the mud? I was merely saying why I hadn't gotten to it, I have limited
time and that's how I've been spending it lately. If you don't like that, not
sure what to say. But for that matter, why even have someone post about it in
the first place? Why not just email the admins about it? Did you try that first?
If so, I didn't get it...
