Spam on vim.org?

[Ben Fritz]

Today we got the following Script: comments page added on the wiki:

http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Script:3083

Claiming that this plugin is spam and/or malware:

http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3083

The vim.org page is in a language I do not know how to read.

Please comment if you know more about this issue.

I don't think it is intended to be spam. The author use python to
retrieve jokes from a PRC site to display inside vim. Those jokes
make no sense for those who cannot read Chinese.

Disclaimer: I don't know whether that PRC website contains spam,
malware or is a phishing website.

www.vimer.cn is where you download the Python 2.6 version of something
(I don't do so well with simplified Chinese). I'm sure that vimer.cn
is (Dante) Zhu NianYang's personal blog. Anyway, I haven't gotten any
malware yet!

I'm not quite sure what to make of www.quishibaike.com. Apparently,
quishi is "awkwardness". Baike is "hundred books" which usually means
encyclopedia, or in this case, a wiki. Perhaps it's a Chinese version
of Fail my Life (www.fmylife.com)?

Yes, you are right that www.quishibaike.com is a Chinese version of
Fail my Life. The author intends to use a Python script inside Vim to
retrieve jokes from that site. It makes no sense to those who doesn't
understand Chinese, for this reason, I think, the author has written
no English description about it. The website has a system of
censorship so that no spam or illegal content will be published. I
will inform the author about this issue.
