Q8igg loses weight
Due to the high amount of spam attacks it got, the Q8igg project has been put a side for quite long time. However the project for me was everything but doomed. I was waiting for the right time and tool to fix this, and during that time, the site’s been literally unusable.
Last night was the diet and health gaining night. All new members are required to do email authentication now, and we are monitoring closely for spammers. Also, a counter-attack has been launched on all the happily living spammers over the course of previous months. As a result, the following actions has been executed:
1- Over 13,500 spammers have been deleted.
2- Over 8,500 spam posts were deleted
3- Over 7,500 spam votes removed
4- All spammer comments were deleted
I’m sure there are still bits and pieces of spammers here and there, but as far as news goes, the site is clean now, and we are back with a reasonable amount of users (47 as of now). I have also worked very hard to filter our legitimate users from spammers, I hope none was removed by mistake. If you have been positively contributing in the past, did not have your stories removed, or if you just keep silent but I know you from the blogs, it is very unlikely you have been deleted.
Still however, if your account has been deleted by mistake, I strongly apologize for this unintended action. With my apology again, you are kindly welcome to register again, and start using the site as before. It’s really difficult to filter out one individual amongst thousands of spammers, so I hope you understand.
Also, story submission time has been optimized as it was taking long time for spam filtering.
These are first steps of things we have in mind to bring the community back live again.
