spam

From time to time I'm getting a message from a user of the site that the site is 'hacked' or sending out spam. In a word, you can rest assured: the site is not hacked. Unfortunately, spam is a sign of the times and there is very little we can do to stop it. I'll take this opportunity to outline ways spam can occur on the site.

You know your site is getting attention when...
someone takes the trouble to break through your CAPTCHA and post numerous spam comments throughout your site.

I have strengthened the anti-spam meassures of the site, and hope this sort of thing will not happen too often. But ofcourse spam is here to stay in this day and age, so if you spot spam that has gotten through, let me know!

PS: as some of you may have read in the forums, we're getting ready to drop the 'beta' from the url!
