Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.Had several reports of people being confused about the watchdog message "Mollom ID x has been tampered with: it was generated for a user with sid y, but is used by a user with sid z." How can we make this more clear? Should we add something to the module handbook pages about it?

sunNot only the message strings need work, but also the severity levels.
Some of them are clear indicators for malicious actions performed on a site. Mollom should at least warn about them.

dries commentedThese changes look good to me, although I'm a bit afraid they are going to increase our support burden. Already, we get people e-mailing asking us what to do about those problems. When seeing those messages, people don't always realize that Mollom is doing its job (versus Mollom being broken).

sunAlternative patch. Some more discussion may prevent support requests in the first place. Doable, I think.

dries commentedLooked at the latest patch with a fresh pair of eyes (good morning!), and decided it is an improvement. Committed the patch in #3 to CVS HEAD (Drupal 7).
