Finally I got tired and, since I was lazy enough to avoid installing a feed reader, I used Google Reader. Maybe not the best reader out there, but does the job and I can use it from any computer with Internet access.

Re: Spam in "Tips" in Vim's website
Hi, I think I'll follow the advices from Salman Halim and Kim Schulz and I'll subscribe to vim tips using the RSS feed and will report the number I have no problems to add the vim scripts rss feed to my firefox live bookmarks by clicking the orange icon in the address bar. But the tips feed does not work with firefox. When I click the orange icon at the right hand of the url in the address field, the page is added (as http://www.vim.org/tips/rss2.php) but results in an error message stating that it failed to load the live bookmark. I managed to subscribe to the tips feed using liferea but would like to stick to firefox. Anybody any ideas? Guido. -- http://vanhoecke.org ... and go2 places!

When you come across such a comment, you can mark the comment as spam, leaving the rest of the tip and comments alone. While you are correct that you may not be able to catch them all, they're only a problem if someone stumbles across them -- in which case, they need only mention it and any moderator (yes, I speak for you, too!) will happily remove it. There is a page (http://vim.sourceforge.net/tips/recent_notes.php) that lists the most recently added tip notes. The nice thing about it is that you can mark notes as spam right from here. Salman.

I've subscribed and I've already picked some of the spam. Unfortunately, this only solves tips that *are* spam, not spam in comments (at least I can't catch that from reader without looking at every tip).

I'll follow your advice and will subscribe to the RSS feed. This way I'll get a list with any new spam that appears in the tips section.

I think I'll follow the advices from Salman Halim and Kim Schulz and I'll subscribe to vim tips using the RSS feed and will report the number of the affected tips. If things get worse and the feed works for me (by now I'm using Google Reader), I'll happily join vim.org as moderator to delete the spam.

That's bad :((( Well, the most obvious spam has been deleted, but it takes time to check all the tips. We have a group of moderators working on it.

RE: Spam in "Tips" in Vim's website
While I'm not in a position to determine who gets to moderate tips, I would like to request that if anybody sees spam while looking through a tip and decides to mention it, please include the tip number(s) so a moderator can go in and address the issue.

Spam in "Tips" in Vim's website
Hi all :) I've noticed that there are still spam in the Tips comments at the vim website. Bram, do you need help with that? If you want, I can take a look at the comments and delete any spam I catch. I don't know how much spare time I'll have, but even with ~1500 tips, it shouldn't take more than a week or so. I've read your post in the Vim page saying that with the help of moderators, the spam had been eliminated, so probably the spam I've seen today is new. That's bad :((( Raúl Núñez de Arenas Coronado -- Linux Registered User 88736 | http://www.dervishd.net It's my PC and I'll cry if I want to... RAmen!
