“Fake” Articles

By kaw / 8 years ago

The last two days, spam or "fake" articles have been published here on The Lime Springs Page. For this I apologize.

I removed the articles as soon as I became aware of them so you might not have seen them. They were articles advertising things for sale, sunglasses among them. By looking "under the hood" I've concluded that they might have been published by people in Ukraine. Russia and Ukraine are known for such mischief. 

Preventing "Fake" Articles

Two things related to this site have been changed to minimize the posting of additional "fake" articles. It's my hope, and your's too, I'm sure, that we've seen the last of these problems.

This is the first time such articles have appeared on this system. This site does have some anti-spam properties enabled. However, spammers get more sophisticated every day. In this case, they simply appear to have been able to log in and post "fake" articles which appeared to be real articles.

Please don't let these two sets of unintended articles discourage you from reading The Lime Springs Page.
