Giles, That’s a little dramatic unless you see something I don’t . There were some spam posts over the last three days. Sorry no one jumped on that right away. I deleted four posts and blocked the main spammer. that’s hardly overrun.I typically delete spam weekly when I get my email update from LinkedIn.

I just changed your role and Chip’s role to group manager so you can make anyone you want a moderator or manager. If you want to make it a committer thing too that’s fine. I just hope that the activity doesn’t drop off like it did with the CloudStack Twitter account.
