tech notes and web hackery from the guy that brought you bzero, python community server, the blogging ecosystem, the new zealand coffee review and the internet topic exchange

For me at least. It's only been public for a week or so, but the NZ coffee review website has already been found by a Chinese spammer.

Some quick hacking later, reviews from new users are now not visible in the RSS feeds or on any of the pages in the site until I manually mark them as 'OK'. Spammers get marked as 'banned' or 'deleted', depending whether I want to keep an eye on them or whether I just want them gone.

Let's see how this works.
