Music Island

Just deleted several spammer accounts and all their content.  Very annoying and so pointless.

Spammers are crafty!

First wave of spammers on sites like ours posted their junk links and product info in blog posts.  The next wave stuck the spam in their profile pages.

When a group of unknowns joined the site between Jan 10 and Jan 16 (5 accounts) I was watching for this activity but nothing showed up.  TravellingSong alerted me to a spam COMMENT on one of her (great) photos.  Lo and behold looking at the activitiy log the spam accounts had all been running about and posting comments on various people's photos and videos.

I believe I have deleted all the spam accounts, deleted their content and banned them (or that email address) from re-joining the site.

With vigilence I believe we will be able to keep this site open and easy to join while beating the spammers.

Tomorrow, Monday 27 December, beginning at 7:00 AM Central Standard Time, web-radio station stillstream dot com (http://stillstream.com) will begin a 12-hour (yes, twelve hours) marathon broadcast of the 2010 Full Moon Lunacy Concerts.

Each of the performances was recorded and released on a monthly basis on the JustNotNormal netlabel (http://justnotnormal.wordpress.com/full-moon-concerts/). Mark Stolk will be hosting this event...if you missed any of the live performances, now's your chance to catch them.
