RubyFlow Back On Track (ish)

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.

I have been sent some backups so will restore some of the better posts if possible. Thanks!

I seem to have been logged in as rawn027. When I am not him.

Perplexing.

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 I guess that since we’ve gone back three days, the user database is also three days out of date too..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.

Maybe a negative Captcha helps to reduce spam?
