Apology about the spam and measures taken
Posted: Sun Dec 14, 2014 3:03 pm
We are terribly sorry about the recent spike in spam messages.
After doing a bit of research it turns out that progress in "spam bot" technology may have enabled them to use Google to find out that John Bonham was the drummer of Led Zep!
We have changed the user registration question to address this.
If spam continues, which means the spammers were human after all, we will introduce moderation of the first post of new users.
Thank you for your patience,
sincerely,
Yann
