Goodbye, Spam!
Posted by Connor Boyack on May 28th, 2007
Some of you surely have noticed the recent spam attacks on Sustain’d. Many thanks to those of you with watchful eyes that have emailed me to notify me of these submissions so that I could delete them quickly.
As of today, Sustain’d is now using a CAPTCHA service from Recaptcha to prevent spambots from hitting the site.
This will hopefully eliminate any and all spam submissions (unless they are entered by humans, of course). Let’s all cross our fingers and hope that such trash won’t be seen on Sustain’d any more!
Yay!

Sorry I just got another spam in the rss feed. Can you try something else?

Yeah, apparently these are real people posting this garbage instead of spam bots.
In the next few days I’ll try another hack to have tighter regulations for new users. We’ll see how that goes.

I don’t like it. It took me 8 times to post 1 stoy.
Do we really need two word to type in?

[...] Okay, so the spam CATPCHA didn’t work. Turns out that the spammers are real people. Some people have far too much time on their hands… [...]
