Someone or someone(s) have found a way to place SPAM messages on the Challenges page of this site. Today I had to individually delete 4 pages worth of entries that were ads for inappropriate things from JackOfSpikes' site. I then had to deal with 16 pages of the same thing here on Dreams' site. I am NOT happy about this in the least.

If this is something that continues, I will be forced to remove the Challenges page as an option for this site. I don't want it to come to that, but it takes a LONG time to individually delete, acknowldege the delete, and return to the renewed page for every inappropriate entry that I have to get rid of.

I will attempt to contact (or read through) the efiction 2.0 forum to see if they can help me either find the loophole that allowed this to happen or a setting to block it from happening again.

SECOND NOTE ON THE SAME TOPIC - I have finally found a way to delete the SPAM challenges in larger groups by going through a process with my database. It is still a bit of a pain, but at least I don't have to delete every single one individually. 16 pages worth still takes a considerable amount of time to take care of. Please do not abuse the Challenges page.

I will still be keeping my eye out for SPAM in the challenges page. I haven't found a way to modify who can and can't leave a challenge yet. We wanted it to be open to everyone, but the SPAM really isn't wanted for other things. I'll keep everyone posted.
