Someone signed up to this site and then used a script to generate about 400 comments to news stories containing nothing but links to the usual porn, viagra, drugs, and other nonsense. I am aware of it and I am cleaning it up. I might lock the site down for a while. Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

For the time being, I have turned on the security code for news comments. Sorry for the inconvenience. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

I think the security code is a great idea. Most blogs have them. It only takes 2-3 seconds to fill out the security code. |

Thanks, but since it was done by a single user, it was very easy to find all the comments and eradicate them. It took me less time to delete them all than it took him to post them, even with an automated script, so that makes me feel better. I hope he had a script, as he was adding these things about once a second or even less. The CAPTCHA should slow him down or even make him want to find an easier target somewhere else. If you see anything like this just shoot me a feedback message ASAP. Just like a neighborhood watch. Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

Exactly Kyle. We have been lucky so far. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

It's also very hard to make the call and say is this person fake or real, What I would have the new users do before joining is they are asked why they want to join the group and that's fairly easy to answer when they visit the page and say " I like surf music" so that there made my call easy and approve new accounts but then again I got fooled and -Kyle Beyond The Surf YouTube channel |

I have always wondered why we can't just send all the stuff back to them. Sort of like a return to sender thing. Let them play reformat for awhile. oh right... Joel |

They're kinda like the guys who drop in on waves or the ones who want to touch your gear at a gig. |
