Over the past week, this blog was attacked by hundreds of spam trackbacks and comments. I've stepped up the security on the site with hopes that this won't happen again. I've disabled trackbacks for the time being as well as installed a new Spam Protector plugin that should help moderate the good from the bad. The previous blocker stopped 145 spam messages since March, but allowed 552 spam messages in the past week or so. Serendipity does not have a UI way of deleting massive amounts of spam; rather, each message has to be deleted individually. I logged into the database today and cleared out all of the garbage. Sorry for any offensive spam posts; this should not happen again.
