Spam and User & Post Deletions

Submitted by Brent on Mon, 2010/03/15 - 10:46.

Hi all,

Some of you might have noticed that we are getting a decent amount of spam these days. I'm doing my best to stay on top of it, but it does creep in.

We are going to start a few new policies to try and curb spamming and to make spammers easier to delete.
