[aur-general] Troll account
Hello AUR General, I am a Manjaro team member and have been an Arch user for ~5 years. I still run Arch proper on many systems and test my AUR packages on Arch proper (just thought i'd get that out of the way ;-p ) We've had to remove someone from our team recently due to their abusing of their forum account's moderation privileges and some other stuff. This person has gone on to prove just how right we were to get rid of them by launching malicious attacks on our wiki and attempts on some other web services. (There's no doubt it's the same person, he directly threatened us with malicious action.) It appears now he is attacking Manjaro team members with any avenue he can find. This account here: https://aur.archlinux.org/account/kingrobbo Has been made for no reason but to troll (myself and possibly other Manjaro devs with AUR accounts). It flagged all of my AUR packages out-of-date (of which none are) and sent a delete request for one (aqualung). The name "kingrobbo" tells me with 100% certainty that it's the same now-troll we've been dealing with, if any AUR admins want more information on this and why i know it's the same person please feel free to email me privately. For now i haven't set all my packages to not-out-of-date, so the AUR admins get a chance to see what i mean. I cannot apologise enough for our problems spilling onto AUR, obviously this is the last thing we want. Of course how to respond is up to you, but my hope is, obviously, that you'll delete their AUR account. Regards and apologies, Rob McCathie

I closed the deletion request and suspended his account. Thanks for reporting.
