New accounts on rox.sf.net
Submitted by Thomas Leonard on Mon, 2007-09-17 20:26
Due to the huge amount of spam that has been posted here over the last few days, I've had to block the creation of new accounts (there are over 300 bogus registered users currently). If you need an account, just write to the mailing list and ask. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Site restored
Attempting to delete the bogus users with the advuser module appears to have corrupted the database. Some pages (e.g. installation) say permission denied when you try to view them (even to the admin!) and spam comments are showing up in the 'Recent comments' list but not on the pages.
I've therefore restored the site from a backup (taken just before deleting the users) and disabled unmoderated posting of comments.
