So as a further followup, this has been going on in many places, and most people are concluding it's a scam. It happened to come across a different place I'm subscribed to... I'm not sure I'm suspicious enough to completely endorse their conclusion, but here's what a part of the gcc team responded - the report of their "bad links" were on sites that mirror old libstdc++ content and are way out of date (the official pages have long since had the reference to the expired site removed). Do we deserve praise or blame for reacting more politely, I wonder? :) Just FYI to people who reacted to our go-round with this. -- mats === > > Good Afternoon! > > I’ve just been looking at your website and I came across these webpages: [snip] > I thought I should let you know so that you can remove the link. As I'm sure you realise, we can't remove the links because they're not on our website. Please stop this link farming, your site has already been reported to google so will not get any boost in page rank from your pathetic attempts to promote it. Also, your pathetic attempts to create links from the mailing list archives don't even work because the links get removed, see: https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2019-07/msg00050.html https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2019-07/msg00051.html You're getting blocked from posting to our lists now, goodbye. _______________________________________________ pydotorg-www mailing list pydotorg-www@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pydotorg-www
