Remove request - advertisement #15

Open Aiq0 opened 2 years ago

Aiq0 commented 2 years ago

Recently, pages Lic agent and Talk:Lic agent were created on wiki with some job advertisement. I wanted to remove them, but I don't have enough privileges, so I at least blanked them.

But as they are useless for wiki, could please someone with deletion privileges delete these pages?

Thanks

P.S.: Advertisements and spam also exists in forums, just take a look at newly registered users and you will find a lot of users without any posts, but with advertising links in website field (used to make websites at better positions in search engines because many sites are linking them), sometimes with more in interests or occupation

I have permissions to approve/deny new user posts on the forums. Most or all of those spam accounts also try to make a forum post after they register, and I reject it and ban the user when it happens. But it doesn't delete them from that list I guess. I don't know if that particular list is picked up by search engines or not.

It is list of all members, if you only ban that member, it is still shown in this list (I don't know, if they could be deleted with phpBB)

I don't know if that particular list is picked up by search engines or not.

Ok, so I didn't found any blacklisting from search engines, but it looks like it is not indexed, so my bad
