The Euston Manifesto » spam http://eustonmanifesto.org for a renewal of progressive politics Thu, 12 May 2011 00:58:34 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= Spam http://eustonmanifesto.org/2007/04/09/spam/ http://eustonmanifesto.org/2007/04/09/spam/#comments Mon, 09 Apr 2007 15:45:32 +0000 Damian Counsell http://eustonmanifesto.org/?p=426 The signing form at the Euston site was built in a rush to meet our original publication deadline and fit the Joomla system that runs this site so it had a number of holes that have been exploited by spammers for some months, resulting in the repeated corruption of the list with links to porn sites.

Because of this I and Andrew Regan have to devote a lot of time to manually pruning the database of fake signatories. We will try to solve this problem when we migrate the whole of the site to WordPress, but neither of us has the time to do this long and involved job right now.

I am therefore suspending the sign-up form. If you would like to sign the manifesto please email the address manifesto at the domain eustonmanifesto.org.
