Dear Arch Officials,
Will you please review the perpetual "moderation" that is attached to
my AUR e-mail. This is going on a year and is quite ridiculous. This is
my third request for review of this unfortunate matter.

Hi Lex Black,
Thank you very much for noticing this.
We have removed the package from the AUR and consider further action for the
user account.
Best regards,

Hi
Will only be able top later create a deletion requests for a package, but maybe
someone else wants to step up?

Not a really stealthy and working approach to do harm, but such a PKGBUILD
shouldn't stay up in my opinion.
Best regards
Good catch Lex,
Make no exceptions. If this was an intentional upload of a PKGBUILD
that would generate inappropriate software, one-strike and you are out
-- permanently should be our policy. Zero tolerance. And if the package
could do damage or compromise security, there should be a policy to
refer the incident to the appropriate governing body for prosecution in
whatever jurisdiction Arch/AUR falls in.
A strong policy, and strong identification of AUR account
holders/packages will prevent playing whack-a-mole as AI makes it easier
for miscreants to create and disguise.
