News on Percyness

[icarus]

Hello, Percy fans.

Percyness is still up and running nicely. I've discovered that some spammers were abusing the review function so we at Percyness have turned off anonymous reviews and deleted a suspicious account or two (the ads for viagra in the profile were a none-too-subtle clue).

Spammers must read the stories and review with comments on the story, please and thank you. We at Percyness have no need for gambling services since Percy does not approve of anything other than conservative, stable investments in well-established Wizarding businesses, like the blue chip Malfoy Enterprises, Inc.

Enjoy the stories, while house-elfs go through and delete all the spam.



ETA: Oh, for Pete's sakes. Even with anonymous reviews turned off Percyness is still getting spam. All reviews are temporarily turned off until we can find the hole in our security. To those writers who've been getting spam reviews, all we can say is: our apologies and *sigh.*

Could it be a bot? (or possibly several?)

Tell me about bots, because I'm going to be yes. Turning off reviews hasn't made a difference.

We got rid of bots by asking a simple question on our board - in our case, it was "What is the name of the swedish queen?" but something like "What is one plus one? (answer in letters)" may also work. You have to answer this to sign up/leave anon reviews. As of yet, bots even though they can read the squiggly writing that most sites use to weed out machines, are not intelligent to understand and answer actual questions.

Correction: because I'm guessing yes.
