Spam Script submissions on vim.org

[rwmit...@gmail.com]

There are currently two obvious spam scripts submitted to vim.org.  Who has the ability to remove them and require pre-approval for first time submitters?

Please share the links (script id and userid) and I'll take care. I have
just today deleted an obvious spammer and his script. You can always
contact me off-list and I'll take care of it.


Thanks,
Chris

Say goodbye ;)

Let me know if you notice any more.

I used to report these sometimes but the RSS feed at https://feed43.com/vim-scripts.xml stopped working a while ago…

I am not sure what happened there. I'll have a look at the RSS feed, but
don't know when I come to it.

More spam.  The help for students isn't using Vim in any obvious way:

Here is the start on the main page:

Hi,
please don't share pictures, just the script-ids + user_ids.

I think I have now deleted all of those.

Thanks,
Chris

Where did you see this feed? I have now created:
https://rsseverything.com/feed/bf4677cd-f853-449a-95d7-ca7bce8f8b0d.xml
But don't know where to change it on the website.

Thanks,
Christian

Thanks. The HTML source has a link rel="alternate" that links to feed43.com.

[Christian Brabandt]

Ah, okay. Try now.

Thanks,

It works :)

FYI there is now only one item in the feed and it is this:

❗️❗️This feed has exceeded usage limit❗️❗️

The available feed limit is 0.
The ranking of this feed is 1.

Ah, it appears we only had 7 free days for testing :/

I guess I have to pay for the service, it's just unclear how many
credits I need. Strange UI with no contact possibilities.

Thanks,
Christian
