Hi,

I just visited
http://www.centos.org/modules/tinycontent/index.php?id=22

and in the comments there are a lot of messages I consider as spam....

Can someone take a look and clean them?

Thanks

Yes, you are correct.

A real spam infestation that should be fixed and moderated in the future.

The CentOS web site has been "polluted" with spam posts for quite some time. I believe, at some point, CentOS devs were asked to take care of them. Apparently the situation is unchanged (or worse) now. We need to ask them again.

Most of those could be catched with askimet...

Or maybe a moderator can erase them...

Another way is to have moderation queue.

Problem is ... unlike the forums, only a limited number of CentOS admins/devs have access to the web contents. And they all seem to be too busy to actively maintain the web site. There isn't much we can do as community members under the current situation. :-(
