More spam stuff

Arms, legs, the usual.

I also seem to be running the site.

I may get around to writing some actual stories at some point.


Hi all.

Further to my recent blog entry about spam bots and a programming error, it has been brought to our attention (thanks, August Rode) that there was another programming error that was allowing spam bots to bypass the captcha check. I've fixed that other bug and had a major clear-out of the fake accounts that were polluting the author-list.

It would be nice to include a proper button that will let you guys alert the admin team to spammers, but that will take a bit of time to implement, as we're all busy people. In the meantime, please drop me an e-mail or a Ficlatté note if you see untoward behavour and I'll do my best to fix it.

Keep writing!

Sorry to bother you, ethelthefrog, but I couldn't find a better place for my issue. I am trying to send someone a note and am getting a Server Error (500). It's extra odd because I was able to note a different member yesterday.
