website abuse

I tried to post this as a ticket, but it said I didn't have 
TICKET_CREATE access.

Someone is apparently using the plone.org user pages to act as 
doorways/forwarding sites to spam sites.

Someone is running a spam management program from this website:
http://as2.bonsilver.com/

Most stuff seems broken, but if you go to "Add task" under the "Spam 
Wizard" menu and then click on "Select" on the Doorway row, a pop-up 
window will present you with the following list of "doorways".  If you 
go to one, it forwards you to a spam site.  I've copied these here 
because the list of doorways can apparently change over time.

Re: website abuse

FWIW, this seems to be happening on some non-plone.org sites in the
wild. 

I'm not sure what if anything can be done about that.
