Unfortunately, the egregious amount of spam that we have gotten over the last few weeks has been, frankly, really terrible. We've been testing out what we think will and won't work. Unfortunately, IP screening seems to do little, so we've moving back to full time screening, as much as I hate to do it. Our policy of not screening registered members will stay in place, however.
As some of you have guessed, this was the work of angry anons from other communities, Denise got in contact with us and asked to to try and put a cap on it. However, we can't always be here so there is only so much that can be done, unfortunately. If something does happen to this community, there is sim-secret.dreamwidth.org which is not run by me but another user.
I will be screening the comments of this post 100% of the time, independent of the overall community's screening. If you have an issue that you report in this thread only I, and the other mods, will be able to see it.
TL;DR: IF YOU SEE SPAM AND HATE SPEECH, ALERT US HERE.
Thanks for your understanding
