Hi,
I just noticed, people have been making junk replies on the FreeFont
News items for some time.
Look, for example, at the end of
https://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=6518
I can't figure out how to delete them or hide them, or how to
not-publish them or whatever I'm supposed to do. I want these things
gone.
--------------------------
The User Docs: In-Depth Guide, under News, says:
>From the Administration->News menu, you will be able to set news
notification. However, news management (approval/deletion) is done
through the Public->News menu. The News management link will only be
visible if you are logged in as the project administrator. Before
being published, news must be approved first by project admin.
I don't know what this means.
There's "Edit Public Info" under Main... but no...
OK maybe it means, to log out and look at it as a non-admin user, but... no...
--------------------------
The Cookbook topic "Fighting spam"
https://savannah.gnu.org/cookbook/?func=detailitem&comingfrom=1405&item_id=140
says at the time when logged-in male user sees content that in his
belief system is spam, he is able to "flag it as spam".
Well I'm logged in, and I'm male, and I am seeing it, and I truly do
believe with all my heart that it is spam. Yet...
This document goes into some detail about policies and algorithms, but
doesn't say what the heck a male such as I must do to "flag" something
as spam. It gives me assurance as to my ability, but no instruction.
Is this a test of some kind?
Just how is this flagging accomplished by the user?
TIA!
