Dealing with the spam invasion
It seems we have been infiltrated by spambots. I have now made blog posts require approval, which has stopped most of it - but they are also posting comments to profiles. I'm holding back at the mo but if you want me to make that subject to approval let me know.
Also, if you want to be an administrator of the site so that you can ban members who are doing this, let me know.
