Dear all,
We have suffered two consecutive spam attacks today. My co-mod Rhapsody was quick on the mark and locked the spammer accounts as soon as the first violation reports came in.

If you have received one or more email notifications alerting you of a new review for one of your works, you may find that the link is no longer working, because the spam reviews have been deleted from the database.

Thank you for the very prompt reports, we ask you to keep alerting us at the mod account if it happens again.

Thank you very much for the prompt action--that seemed to be a really heavy attack.

It was! And it was made worse by afflicting the SWG and MPTT simultaneously.

But Rhapsody and Russa were awesome and had it all cleaned up by the time I logged in to check my email that morning. Three cheers! :)
