AI slop in luarocks.org

Looks like we reached the age of AI slop in luarocks.org:

https://luarocks.org/modules/qy-upup

All these entries look bogus. I downloaded one of them and there's no Lua files, just a mix of Python and PHP; these entries seem to be there solely to drive links to some AI service website.

@leafo we've been lucky to have minimal spam over the years, but it looks like the barrier of entry to spam has lowered... :(

Thanks for the heads up, I need to do a few things:

• finish implementing the spam/suspended flags to actually disable an account's content and pages
• update the delete account script to support also deleting accounts that still have modules

Pretty much every site I run that has user generated submission is a target of scammers and spammers these days. I think we might need a longer term moderation strategy
