strange link on alsa-project.org, possibly a spam link

[humbert.olivier.1]

Hi all

just to let you know that there is a strange link in 
http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Main_Page

See this screenshot : http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1461883624.png
This "strange link" is under the white pointing-down arrow on the blue background circle

It is linking to a "cheap holiday" booking webpage and someone on alsa@freenode suggested
it looks to be one of those 'domain not used' redirects which I do agree.

This link has been introduced back in August 2007 the 10th following this change :
http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php?title=Main_Page&diff=698&oldid=697

I thought you might want to know.

All the best to you all and thanks for the work done on ALSA.
Cheers,
Olivier

I can confirm it.

It should be removed, and the account should be banned.

Thanks for confirming it Takashi and precising where it came from.

And thanks to Clemens who did revert the bad change :

All good now.
