I don't see any link spam in the tips right now.

Why don't we add links to the web site that will allow the vim community to flag spam themselves? Many other websites have followed this scheme and it works well (craigslist.org for example). David

I added the PHP stuff to remove individual tip notes. The moderators that can remove tips can now also remove notes. Obviously there are many more notes than tips and spam may appear for every tip, not just for the newest one. Thus it's harder to get rid of, the moderators have to do more work. So please be patient while this is being done. Automating the moderation is tricky. And I don't really have time for it. Perhaps someone can make a script on his own computer to go through all the tips to identify the ones where there still appears to be spam. And then publish the list with links on his website, so that moderators can quickly jump to them, inspect the text and delete the ones that are really spam. -- hundred-and-one symptoms of being an internet addict: 23.

garbage "notes" in vim.sf.net's tips section
Hello, Scott! I mentioned how there were lots of garbage "notes" that have been appended to nearly all tips; as an example, I gave out tip#1. I see that the garbage has been cleaned from tip#1, but tips #12-1393 also need cleaning. Seems like it needs some automation to do it, especially if the &#()& who obviously used a program/script to do it the first time repeats his/her vandalism. Regards, Chip Campbell
