Spaaaam

Hello!

We've noticed a major uptick in Spam on the board the last 24 hours or so. Mark is brainstorming ways to make it stop, but hasn't implemented anything as of yet.

If you are one of the volunteers who has the movetouch priv, this is a reminder that spam on the boards needs to be moved to Peterstein. If you have any questions about whether something is spam or not, move it to Peterstein and one of the Triumvirate will sort it out.

Thanks!

The What Goes Where page says spam goes into Websmaster, which is what I've always moved it to. As I moved most of the spam we've gotten during the past day, I'd hate to think I moved it to the wrong cat and created more work for everybody. Can the wiki page be updated if what it says is wrong?

[zarhooie]

I will update it. I thought I'd grabbed all the wiki references.

Thanks for that! I'd also been going by the Wiki; sorry for putting spam in Webmaster up to now.

Thank you! That's really a great reference and I use it all the time. I'm also sorry for moving all spam to WebM until now.

Unrelated: I've just seen there's an awesome support guide in the FAQs but it's not listed anywhere. Is it because it's not ready yet or did some wires get crossed or something?

<not-Kat-but-sometimes-she's-afk> The shiny new one from bug 2988? I think that's still waiting on an okay from denise.
