Manifest moderation

[rtsisyk]

Hi!

How I can moderate my manifest?
Some spam bots started to add undesired modules to my manifest..

Thanks!

Any news?

Spam? Which manifest is this? I haven't see any spam on the site before.

This one: https://luarocks.org/modules/wprayudo/expirationd
Take a look on commits: https://github.com/wprayudo/expirationd/commit/45c98c8d4ec19600b162b8464477377972e916c3

hmm, looks strange but I wouldn't consider them a spammer. There doesn't seem to be anything malicious going on, maybe they're just confused about how luarocks works?

In any case, there aren't any moderation tools. Until there are though I'd be glad to remove the module. You could also add a comment on their repo and ask them what they're doing as well.

This would be nice, e.g. for the prosody manifest there shouldn't be json4lua (prosody includes it's own json module), and I don't think 30log should be there either (AFAIK it's never been used by anyone in the prosody community).

My idea for the prosody manifest was that it could become a way of distributing prosody modules (plugins); these are lua scripts with a certain format; with access to non-standard globals etc.
==> How can I make sure only prosody modules are in that manifest? (I'm happy to comb through once a month and remove them; but I need the button/tool to do it)

Any news? How I can remove unsuitable modules from my manifest?
