Hey everybody!
So, you may have noticed that there's been a lot of spam around here recently. Sorry about that. Looks like some Korean spammer has identified us as a good dumping ground for their Google-gaming. (If you're one of those spammers, Hi! Get out.)
The mod staff has tried several things to stem the tide, which I won't go into here, but we do want to be sensitive to legitimate users joining for legitimate reasons. In the meantime, we're just playing whack-a-mole with the spammers. Please bear with us; we have moderators covering most of the globe, so if there's spam there's probably a moderator available soon to take it down. We're doing our best, but we're humans and they're robots, so it's going to be a difficult battle.
If there are any updates that we feel the community should know, we'll make them in this thread. (And seriously, spammers? Out. Now.) Lots of spam? Can't find your post?
If your question is buried under tons of spam, we're sorry. Rest assured, there will be a mod around soon to get rid of it. In the meantime, you can find your post by clicking your username in the top-right corner of the site, then hitting "Your Content." All of your posts should be there. Thanks for bearing with us! - - -
Incidentally, as of December 8, our mod staff had zapped over 10,000 posts from hundreds of spam accounts.
