[Inkscape-docs] images in gallery used for advertising?
Hi Friends, I saw a relatively new image in the gallery, which seems to be there for the purpose of advertising, and nothing else. It's not an image made with Inkscape, or even vector-related. https://inkscape.org/en/gallery/item/5691/ It seems to be only for the purpose of advertising tagxedo and tagxedo.com. Should be allowed? I realize there could be much worse abuses (and there have been, already), but I'm curious how the Inkscape community sees this. Thanks for discussion :-) All best, brynn -- ___ Inkscape-docs mailing list Inkscape-docs@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/inkscape-docs
Re: [Inkscape-docs] images in gallery used for advertising?
Hi Brynn, thanks for noticing. I'll write to the user and ask him to remove the advertising. Keep an eye on it and remind me if it's still there in a week or so. (and I wish there were a way to *not* use my own mail address for this kind of thing - it doesn't look 'official', I don't want spam, and I wouldn't mind sharing this kind of mails with others in a more official kind of way (I'll be CC'ing Martin), without disclosing the recipient's mail address on a mailing list...)

Re: [Inkscape-docs] images in gallery used for advertising?
Hhmm, that's a good point. Maybe there should be a way to have website admins of a certain level, have inkscape.org email address? Just a thought. Or.well I'm a little curious why you would contact them and ask them to remove it, vs just removing it. As a forum admin, I don't ask spammers to remove their spam. I just ban them and delete their message. And I don't think that's being heavy handed, as far as spamming is concerned. Is it because we don't have an easy delete button yet? brynn -- From: Maren Hachmann ma...@goos-habermann.de Sent: Wednesday, May 27, 2015 9:54 AM To: inkscape-docs@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [Inkscape-docs] images in gallery used for advertising?

Just a thought. - That could be useful. I guess we'll get to that when the mailing system will be setup properly when the lists will be moved, or when the moderation system will be hooked up with mailing.

Is it because we don't have an easy delete button yet? - No, deletion works now :) (thanks, Martin ;) ) The problem is that we do not have any official rules posted anywhere, and thus can't expect people to adhere to them. I prefer to solve this kind of thing on a voluntary basis first, whenever possible. We can still delete uploads, or ban users when that seems unavoidable.

Re: [Inkscape-docs] speaking of Books, Manuals page
Hi Brynn, what would you want to link to from the headings? There's no single book, reference or manual that could be linked to from them... what was your plan? Splitting up manuals and references would be okay for me, although I wouldn't think that's strictly necessary. There are only four items under the common heading anyway. Not enough to make it difficult to get a quick overview for a site visitor ;) Still, go ahead if you feel it will help readability. You seem to have a good sense for that.

I mean the h3 heading sections, where on other pages, such as Learn, the heading is a link. Should it be so on Books and Manuals? If yes, I can do it. Also, should Manuals and quick references be split into Manuals and References? If so, I can do it :-) All best, brynn -- One dashboard for servers and applications across Physical-Virtual-Cloud Widest out-of-the-box monitoring support with 50+ applications Performance metrics, stats and reports that give you Actionable Insights Deep dive visibility with transaction tracing using APM Insight. http://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/290420510;117567292;y ___ Inkscape-docs mailing list Inkscape-docs@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/inkscape-docs -- ___ Inkscape-docs mailing list Inkscape-docs@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/inkscape-docs
