Hello, today the user vedantydv123 added nonsense comments to a few packages: https://aur.archlinux.org/account/vedantydv123/comments The user doesn’t have any packages or meaningful comments. Could someone take care of that? Cheers, Michael PS: Is there any easier way to report cases like this? I now had to register to the mailing list, send this mail and de-register again...

[aur-general] Is vlc-pause-click-plugin unmaintained now?
by Frederick Zhang 06 Apr '19

06 Apr '19

Hi, It seems that vlc-pause-click-plugin has been unlisted from AUR for quite a while. I just quickly went through aur-general and aur-requests but I didn't find any info about the reason. May I know whether it's now unmaintained and whether it's possible for me to adopt the package? Thanks. -- Best Regards, Frederick Zhang Email: frederick888(a)tsundere.moe

[aur-general] Spammers in AUR user comments
by NicoHood 06 Apr '19

Hello, lately i have noticed an increased percentage of spam comments in the AUR. Especially for the spotify package there were 4 accounts I had to block within a few weeks. Have you been able to make similar observations with your packages or is this an exception? Should and how can we better protect ourselves from spam comments? ~Nico
