[ckan-discuss] datahub.io suggestion - spam entries

Wed Jul 10 10:38:36 BST 2013

Hello

I was having a look for some material on datahub.io<http://datahub.io/> and noticed a number of entries that are likely spam (e.g.1<http://datahub.io/dataset/acquiring_mba_program_exactly_what_is_really_gmat_and_so_why_do_anyone_will_need_the_high_status> e.g.2<http://datahub.io/dataset/totally_free_grant_money_for_college_scholarship>).  This is just a piece of feedback from an infrequent user perspective. I would be more than happy to click a simple 'flag for moderator'/'report spam' button to reduce maintenance effort for the admins (a la stackexchange). However, I'm not clear what the best route is currently.

It appears there are two types of login which open up options: comments (DISQUS) and a site login.

*         I noticed the DISQUS login option for comments. This has a 'submit feedback' option on the gear in the lower right (when logged in). But this feels more like a usability survey than a reporting channel.

*         The site account seems to open up editing options. However I don't see a 'flag for moderator' option (or a delete button, which could be harsh).

Hope this is somewhat useful
