Zebra: Filtered authors still appears in update

Created on 28 Mar 2020  路  4Comments  路  Source: zbrateam/Zebra

Describe the bug
I have filtered some authors that spam the update, and yet they keep appearing once they instill their spam command( fake update)

To Reproduce
Add a random author to the filter list, I usually add them to author

Expected behavior
Close zebra and reopen. No concrete effect is noticeable as author apps/ themes still appears on update section. Couple of hours, when author initiates a new update, it still all appears.

Only happend once which is weird. I'll update this if it happens again.

I think it's because he changed a symbol like Latin 'a' to Cyrillic 'a' or a ' ' (space) to ' ' (Alt+255 - ASCII code).

Essentially, these names appear the same, but on a technical level they are not.

Quite clever, we're going to be switching to email filtering (in #999) so that only one email has to be added instead of adding all of the different author variants. This is still susceptible to the same problem but I would assume that this would require a lot of different emails to be created. I'm not sure how Packix has that system set up but if he can change his name then he might also just be able to change his email...

Packages are now filtered by an authors email instead of their name as of 33fd4fa00534065fedd4a99e27d70eea7b13a0ea. Hopefully this will fix the issue.
