[datahub-discuss] DataHub - Spam Issue (plus introduction)

[Rufus Pollock]

Hi Kim,

You can start delete spam right now (even before Ross' improvements). All
we need to do is make you a sysadmin!

If you are interested just ping me your username off-list and I'll add you
as a sysadmin and you can then start using your new-found powers!

@All: if there is anyone else interested please let me know!

Rufus

*## How to delete spam *

2 options. Note if you are trawling for stuff to delete good starting point
is http://datahub.io/revision which lists recent changes.

*### Option 1. Delete the dataset*

1. View the dataset
2. Hit edit
3. Go to bottom of page and hit delete

Note: you may want to check that this isn't a "good" dataset that's been
edited by spammers. You can check this on
datahub.io/dataset/history/{dataset-name}

Later: go to purge all deleted datasets - see

*### Option 2. Delete revisions (slower)*

1. See recent changes: http://datahub.io/revision
2. Click on the revision link (rather than dataset link)
3. Click delete on revision page

Later: go and purge all the deleted revisions:
http://datahub.io/ckan-admin/trash

Instead of step 1: You can also find the revision link from dataset history
page: datahub.io/dataset/history/{dataset-name}
