I have now cleared over 600 posts (big THANKS to everyone, who keeps marking spams as for speedy deletion), which is about weekly/biweekly spam dosage, but as every page requires three clicks, you do the math for what muscle memory my fingers are developing :) Hi Petr, Could you actitivate the Editing API? I think that we have enough spam data to make a spam marking boot and usign the editing api will make the task easier ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

I have even created a ticket regarding this, like years ago, but do not remember getting any response. -- Patryk LeadMan Benderz Linux Registered User #377521 () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
