moderation - same image, multiple uploads

Hi Friends, Currently we have 2 images in the gallery, which each were uploaded 3 times by the member (2 different members, afaict). I can't see any differences between each set of 3. Should we address that via moderation? Or just leave it alone? Oooh....or could it have been an accident? If the website was running slow, and they clicked the Publish button 2 more times, after the first click did not seem to work -- could that have caused it? If that's the case, then there's no question. We'll just delete the extras. Thanks, brynn

extension testers needed
by brynn 23 Jun '18

Hi Friends, I'm finally starting work on listing all the known external Inkscape extensions (on the same page of Inkscape Community, where I have all the tutorials listed). While we have gathered some info about some extensions, regarding which version they work with and on which operating system (mostly I suspect Maren gathered what we have, which looks like is only for 0.91, and probably Linux), by and large that info is missing. I'm just wondering if it's ok if I add a new item to the Community To-Do List page of the website, asking for volunteer extensions testers. I can use the info for the list I plan to finish creating and maintain on Inkscape Community. And the info can be used as well, for the extensions which are uploaded to the gallery. If there are no objections, I'll go ahead an add it. Thanks, brynn

who is "InkScape Terms"?

Hi Friends, I've just noticed a request to become a moderator, by a member named "InkScape Terms". Or just "Terms" for short. (https://inkscape.org/en/~Terms) The member's description of themself consists of a link to the CoC. Because Inkscape is spelled wrongly, with the uppercase S, it gives me the impression it's a spam username. Otoh, the link to the CoC makes me wonder if it's something created by a regular community member, for some reason which I can't imagine. If it's the latter, someone please explain it to me, and I will go ahead and approve the membership to the team. Or otherwise, I'll just decline it. Personally I think it's a wannabe spammer, and it seems shocking how deep spammers will surf, and search for a "way in". We've had equally as many spammers trying to be moderators, as legitimate members! But I could be wrong. Thanks, brynn
