RubyFlow Back On Track (ish)

May 07, 2008
With merely 10 minutes to fix this morning's spam issue before I have to go out (now!) there were a whole range of balls ups and mistakes made, and so.. we're now back on Sunday's database. Sorry!

In any case, changes have been made to avoid the spam issue in future. All users need to now be approved (once they've done a post and proven they're not spammers) before their items appear in the RSS and Twitter feeds, reducing their motivation.

Note: All existing users have been marked as approved.

“”Ah, yes. I guess that since we've gone back three days, the user database is also three days out of date too.. so if you signed up within that time, you will no longer exist.PeterCooper - May 07, 2008 18:57
