ATTN MODS: What is being done to stop the flood of sports spam currently underway on DN?

    Yes Ken, it's been a bit chaotic for us over the past few days trying to find a solution. I spent most of my time deleting spam while the dev side tried to find a better solution. We certainly were not ignoring it. The thanksgiving weekend (in Canada) was spent trying to figure out what to do and how to solve it.

    I know this sucks, and I appreciate the community's patience with it. It was easily the worst spam attack we've seen and we were caught a bit off guard.

    We're genuinely sorry. I understand this was frustrating and turned people away. All I can say is that we're doing the best we can, and need all the help we can get.

    Matt

        Ken I think you should join us as a mod - you always seem to be reporting users for good reason and I end up banning them. It would make sense that you could ban them yourself. You keen?
