# spam management for forgejo

## Usage

- create an API token for your admin account, and write it in an `api_token`
  file at the root of the repo
- remove `model.json` if you want to start with no pre-existing model of what is
  spam or not. Or keep it to use the current classifier. The file gets updated
  when using the tool: the classifier learns from spam/legit decisions and
  should get progressively better at identifying spam.
- run: `cargo run`
- classify users as spam/not spam. Right now the classification is stored
  locally in `db.json`, no concrete action is taken. (Ultimately we will want to
  lock/delete accounts, etc.)

## Todos

- discuss the current design choices for when locking the account/sending a
  notification email fails.
  (Current behavior is to periodically retry, avoid deleting if the account
   could not be locked, but delete the account after the grace period even if
   the email could not be sent…)
- add backend to store data on garage instead of local files
- replate the `api_token` file with a better mechanism: oauth maybe?
- improve error handling
