Title: New Vandalism
Post by: MatterEaterLad on July 16, 2007, 06:09:46 PM
A new member is going through all the El entries and changing them to Spanish.  Is there any way this kind of thing can be avoided?

Speaking of vandalism, some bot or spammer has created thousands of user accounts.  No wonder the site is sometimes slow.

Great Rao, is there anyway you can delete all of those accounts in red?

I'm not sure if there is a lot of safeguards to keep bots from crawling into the site.
