You know, I guess I'm quite lucky. I have this forum up and running for over a year now, and spam free...until this morning.
Now, I played with the public access to the forum's boards, who should be able to post, who should be able to view etc... So I generally set the controls so that all visitors can view threads, and most boards have it so that non-registered visitors can reply. Well, some moron found a open board and thought it clever to post Chinese nonsense relating to a Deep Impact thread. All of the characters displayed were links. It was quickly deleted by me as all powerful weblord of the Chicago Astronomer. But you gotta wonder what type of sub-human actually thinks up these idiotic annoyances. Get a girl I say.
I see some other sites constantly bombarded with trash, and their administrators attempt to correct it, but it shouldn't have to be. They need a mental enema!
So, I have changed settings to reflect a more secure site, but I can't help but think about what Ben Franklin once said.. "If one gives up personal liberty for security, one neither deserves security nor liberty."
Condition threat Blue.
