Spam comments are a concern; spam journals (at least the randomly-generated-content variety) are not likely to be a problem, because bots aren't likely to receive invite codes or pay for an account. Spam accounts are problems on free-to-everyone services; they're pretty much killed by having a requirement of a startup fee or a human invitation. I do like knowing that the coders are aware of the problem of spam comments, though, and will be looking for ways to identify them before some botservice notices DW. _______________________________________________ dw-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.dwscoalition.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dw-discuss
