[ckan-dev] Fwd: [ckan-discuss] CKAN spam

[Adrià Mercader]

Hi,
I'm forwarding this to the dev list because I think on this occasion
the issue is more severe than a regular spam package.
I was flagging this package with meta.spam:
http://ckan.net/package/alexb327

But I checked the history and looks like it was not created as spam,
but rather an existing legitimate package has been edited:
http://ckan.net/package/history/alexb327

If that's the case, I think that it's a thing that must be fixed asap
to prevent losing any hard work made by the contributors.

Hi Bill,

Thanks very much. Cc'ing CKAN-discuss.

@Team, In history I can only compare versions, I don't appear to
actually be able to roll back with my level of access, otherwise I
would do this myself.
