SPAM and a Community Weigh In
All right, let’s start with the spam news. I’m still investigating some solutions to this problem. As an online community we get attacked in basically 2 ways.
- Splogs – People like to post fake blogs (splogs) so they can drive traffic to their other sites. I am usually on top of them and you will notice that certain blogs have been deleted or suspended. If you notice one I may have missed, post it to the boards or shoot me an email.
- Spam Comments – I know this is a problem. One way to combat it is to set your options to allow only members to comment. Anyone can sign up so even if you do not want a blog but want to participate in the community you can get a use name and password by go to the sign up. For those of you being SPAMMED, go to your options and check the setting “Users must be registered and logged in to comment”. That should help a great deal!
Ok, on to the Weigh In! I thought it would be fun to see how we are doing collectively as a community on our weight loss. Did you reach goal? How much weight have you lost since blogging? Is it helping? I started this community to help those who want to reach there goal so I want to know, Is it Working?!?! :~)
