Attacked by Spammers

Mood: pissed off

I apologize if the recent spam attack has offended Funchain users. Funchain has attracted the interest of splog (spam-blog) workers who created auto-login / auto-posting script for the site. I have deleted these blogs, entries and users, and installed a "Captcha" at the login box. A captcha is a program that shows an image that only a human can read, defeating any automated way to get into the site and mess it up. I apologize if this has caused inconveniences on your part when logging in. Unfortunately this is the simplest way right now to protect the site from the sploggers.
