Site Maintenance

Submitted by Visudha on Mon, 2007-07-23 19:20.

Friends,

I'm very dissapointed. This site, in the spirit of community was designed to allow unmoderated posting by any person who creates a log-in and wishes to share about their dance of life. Unfortunately we have been spammed with x-rated material 4 times in the last 2 weeks.

Fortunately the material has not remained on the site long but it still affects the safety and sacredness of our hearts and content.

After speaking with several users we have come up with some ways to prevent this violation. Beginning immediately we will institute two measures. The first is a temporary fix until the spammers stop trying to access the site. For the time being you may create content which will post to your personal blog, but it will go into the cue for approval for the front page. This is to ensure that no more ugliness will be posted on the front page.

Which brings us to the second measure. If you would like to be a part of the team to monitor and approve content please contact me and I will give you an editor's assistant permission which will allow you to help review and approve the material.

When I am away from the internet more than two days I will also ask someone to pay particular close attention to the site.

If you notice any issues with the site, please call or email me. Thanks, Visudha

Well, it has been a couple of weeks since I instituted the moderation rule. And, so our postings are down, but all content has been promoted to the front page. I am blocking about one new user a day, who appears to be part of the porno spammers. They are not trying to post now that we are moderating. I don't want to have this as a standard and wondered if any one has any other ideas about how to correct this?

I join drummer in praising the site administration goddess. Thank you for a) creating this remakable site in the first place; b) keeping its fires burning bright. - Jeff
