[pydotorg-www] Fwd: [Webmaster] Fwd: Spam

[Steve Holden]

Hi there,

WE have had a number of complaints about irresponsible (self-serving)
updates from the pythonguru account on the Beginners page. Despite the
posting of a notice on the page warning about possible consequences, the
updates continue, so we'd like to block the account, please.

regards
Steve Holden

I agree we should do it. I'm not sure who manages the Wiki but, going by
the front page, an email to pydotorg-www at python.org seems to be the right
thing.
