OSQA itself doesn't have good facilities for fighting spam. For example, to get rid of harmful links from spam profiles, we need to run SQL queries by hand (thanks go to Dago for doing it recently).</div>

People / users are not registering there and not asking questions via OSQA. We have roughly these choices:</div><div class="gmail_extra" style=""><br></div><div class="gmail_extra" style="">1. Close /community/ and copy existing content into a static page (on wordpress) or wiki, or some other place (the manual?). Create a HTTP redirect from /community/.*</div>
<div class="gmail_extra" style="">2. Try harder: Upgrade OSQA to the newest version (trunk from upstream svn) and start promoting the site so maybe people will start registering.</div><div class="gmail_extra" style="">3. (credit goes to Trygve) Use the "opencsw" tag in <a href="http://serverfault.com/">serverfault.com</a>. Try to create a link to a form with the tag prefilled. Then subscribe to unanswered questions with the tag. An example: <a href="http://serverfault.com/unanswered/tagged/solaris">http://serverfault.com/unanswered/tagged/solaris</a> - also via RSS: <a href="http://serverfault.com/feeds/tag/solaris">http://serverfault.com/feeds/tag/solaris</a></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>4.
