Tangents Site Housekeeping

January 21st, 2013 by Robert Howard

Just as a heads up, I recently went through and purged a couple dozen probable spam user accounts; it seems the Bots are better able to overcome the Captcha program used to weed them out. If you were accidentally deleted and were legit, I apologize. E-mail me, and I will restore the account. I’m fairly certain the users deleted did not post (for some strange reason the bots just create user accounts and never post spam, but I want to prevent a theoretical spam surge that might prove impossible to totally remove), but to be on the safe side any posts were attributed to a Admin account set up just for this purpose. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Addendum note: It seems the current crop of spambots has learned how to ignore the Turing test. I’ve turned off new member requests for the time being. If you wish to register, then just e-mail me at Tangents Reviews @ gmail . com without the spaces.
