It now appears, with e-mails to "Plone Setup" forum these two recent
postings - one from<br>
someone in UK - <i><b><a href="mailto:lucianw@live.co.uk" target="_blank">lucianw@live.co.uk</a></b></i> - asking about
Windows registry Cleaner software<br>
and second apparently from Russian - <i><b><a href="mailto:b.loggerschoiceawardscom@gmail.com" target="_blank">b.loggerschoiceawardscom@gmail.com</a></b></i>
with a<br>
reply offering such registry cleaner (assuredly malware), that the
forum has been hijacked<br>
by spam bots and idiots whose intentions veer completely to the
opposite of any purpose or<br>
interest in Plone Content Management Systems (CMS) in any form.<br>
<br>
In hindsight the forum moderator should have <b><u><i>instantly
stopped any and all comments<br>
on "Best Windows version for Plone install" discussion</i></u></b>,
since that topic is extraneous<br>
to any help or support of Plone on the Microsoft Windows OS.<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>This forum/list is not moderated. At least not yet. We are trying to catch and block the spammers, but these are all automatically generated spam, so it's not that easy to stop.</div>
<div><br></div><div>We're on it. Please don't make the problem worse by over-reacting or meta-posting about the spam, thereby compounding the noise.</div><div> </div><div>The anti-Windows sentiment is not really appropriate on this list, either. Plone supports deployment and development on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows. We intend to keep it that way. Most developers and users, anecdotally, use OS X or Linux, but frankly there is no "slant" one way or another.</div>
