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.

Please note that the events on Sept 29 and Oct 16 begin at 11 am and end at 12 pm SLT.  There seems to be a glitch in the Spruz database that is causing the end time to appear incorrectly when 12 pm is selected.  I have submitted a Support ticket (two days ago) but this is still not resolved.  Online support could not help this morning. 

I apologize for the (hopefully temporary)  confusing information on this event.
