How does one report a spam listing visible in Discover?

Examples

kns://kfontinst.knsrc/121341 is an example:

Quick Response Lowers Your Risk $100 -50000 deposit, 200:1 Leverage Unique Trading Platform, Special Features Set Stop & Limit at Rate, at Amount or at Distance (PIPS) Guaranteed Stop Loss, Trailing Stop & Lock Profit 3 Trading Modes, Negative Balance Protection Fractional PIP Pricing, Very low spreads (2 pips) Click on top Forex Banner for more details http://4x.redstar.com.np

Tangential

Perhaps, this should, instead, be a Brainstorm, requesting a way to do so via Discover’s GUI. Though, rather like my criticism of the current review system’s lack of binding to accounts, any report system would be abused just as much.

How does that even appear? Can’t even search for that in KDE Store… It’s all very opaque.

@ben2talk, the kns:// schema isn’t DE-registered, so it requires manual input: [1]

#!/usr/bin/env sh
plasma-discover kns://kfontinst.knsrc/121341

You need to visit “Plasma Addons” in the sidebar. There, scroll to the bottom of the 2 000 entries, or search. Search scopes, for add-ons, recently became local, whereas all else have remained global. It’s thoroughly unintuitive:

As shown in the top right of the screenshot, this product is not from the KDE Store (store.kde.org) but from the KDE CDN. I have located the offending item and have reached out to our OCS person on how to best remove it.

@Justin, thanks. What does OCS refer to in this context, though?
