Spammers be gone

Sorry, why do you think this is a spam message?
He talks about marble, a software related to the topic.

@lloydsmart

@quantum

The actual spam post probably was already removed

Hello!

Yes, the spammer in the marble thread had been removed already (he posted links to marble jewelry shops).

Even if it works just the same for tagging them, it's maybe better 'for posterity' to point the spammer name (as it's usually done) better than the specific comment.

As always, thanks a lot for the work you do!

A spammer that apparently never was noticed, as the post was from May 2013.

(spam on user page)

This user https://trisquel.info/en/users/gibsonmargarita changed a wiki page to write spam. This is the wiki https://trisquel.info/es/wiki/conectar-al-canal-irc-trisquel. You can check the "revisions" tab.
I think this is a totally unacceptable case of spam as it interfers with documentation and users knowledge and atraction to Trisquel. Maybe we should think on another way to get rid of this kind of spammers as a court case or something like that. I'm not on the legislation world so clearly I don't know what to do.
I know that's something difficult if this users are anonym.

David, the user "gibsonmargarita" was already reported by lembas. Maybe, the user was deleted and a dummy one created. Check that before deleting it.
Perhaps, we should make a database of spammers, so we can keep track of our dummy users.

The user "GIBSONMARGARITA" has been registered for 2 years! was this spam recent?

I'm sorry, the link I gave you is not the url. I'm trying to find the wiki page, but since that wiki page was not created by me, I cannot see it in my tracking list.
If someone can help me, please. It was a translated page in Spanish about Trisquel editions.
So we can give David the URL so he can check it. I fixed what gibsonmargarita spammed it yesterday.

Forget all my other messages. This is the one that counts... Sorry.

@Cyberhawk No. this spam is not recently. It is from 08, Oct 2011. But IT IS A WIKI PAGE!!!!

Heh, what a flurry of activity from the spamhunters team :-)

Gibsonmargarita was in fact overlooked (probably because of the issue with the language-specific wiki edits in the tracking page), the account is now blocked. I say blocked and not deleted, because since some months ago, we've started blocking spammer accounts (and unpublishing their contents), since some changes to the site diminished their frequency of appearance, and blocking them makes them unable to use the same email address again (which is more frequent that you'd think).

The other recent spammers have been blocked as well.

As always, thanks a lot for the work you do, particularly with those hard to notice places like rogue edits to legit wiki pages.

Great!
We should add a "SPAM KILLER TEAM" to the Trisquel staff!!! LOL! (:p

The comment this user (https://trisquel.info/en/users/osman2014/track) made is very hard to understand and is probably spam.

David, do you mean that we cannot see the items of the tracking from an overlooked user?

@ssdclickofdeath, you forgot to change the status. I'm doing it for you.

This user https://trisquel.info/es/users/stephaniestep. Made an English message in a Spanish thread. At the end of it, there's a spam link...
This is the thread:
https://trisquel.info/es/forum/openmailboxorg#comment-48372

@antiesnob: I meant the problem with checking updates to already existing wiki pages easily: since the pages are not new, they don't appear in the listings for new content, and the tracking page for each user is language-sentisitve as noted.

About osman2014, I don't think he's a spammer, I guess English is just not his primary language and he tried to get help in the most recently created forum thread at the time.

About osman, I think as David does.

@David, please read the following --> https://trisquel.info/en/issues/10945#comment-48708 and let me know what you think.
