Duh !!
Jonathan,
you are the opensuse.org user just anyone else here.
Acting with respect to others feelings and opinions is important anywhere, specially on the wiki. If you don't care about viagra sellers, you'll find many that agree with you, but breaking the neighbors window because his party is too noisy is not the best way to solve the problem.
All here consider links inappropriate, but this guy is not first that came with "original" ideas, and surely not the last. Help us to establish criteria what is appropriate and what not, that will help site administrators to act promptly. I'm long enough here to know that they trying to be invisible, but they are here and act according to established rules.
First: like others said befor, it's not SPAM, its his page, and you don't need to click on them, so no problem.
second: yes, just beeing here for google-ranks is not the idea
so what to do with it?
conclusion: If there is the user only here for goggle-ranking or something like this, 1) make the user inactive after some time of inaktivity 2) if his/her only aktivity is to just activate again, delete him/her
reason: this is a community. To be member of a community means activity. No activity, no member, no personal page.
greetings, anniyka
Thanks for the mail Anniyka. I'm sorry to disagree, and the reason is that guys trying to boost their rankings on search engines using wikies need just what you proposal gives them, the time. They count on that they will be removed and later is better. The best that we can do without breaking the glass is to give site administrators the tool, our agreement written in policy, to remove such content, and if user is persistent his/her account too. In this case problem was that it was personal page, for any other I will remove links without thinking a second. The way it is done tells that this guy has experience with posting such rubbish to wikies. He posted where it will hold the longest, until we discuss the matter. -- Regards, Rajko.
