Thread: Blogs will temporarily be moderated

    Blogs will temporarily be moderated

    In recent days we've seen an explosion of spammers trying to sign up.

    We're able to catch most of them when reviewing applications for membership, but some still do get through.
    And when they do, they instantly start creating spam blogs.
    For every genuine blog entry, we've got between 5 to 10 (depending on the week) spam blog entries.

    In the last hours, the spammers seem to have found a way to circumvent the double captcha feature that is used to sign up, leading to large amounts of spammers trying to sign up.

    For that reason, we've temporarily changed the settings so that NEW BLOG ENTRIES NEED APPROVAL.

    If you have a blog, and you post something, just let us know and we'll approve it.
    We have no interest in censoring, but we do want to keep the spammers out.

    NEW BLOG ENTRIES NO LONGER NEED APPROVAL.
