Temporarily Going to Moderated Posts ...

Until LJ gets their current spam problem under control, this community has been temporarily set to moderated posts. I regret the inconvenience but I am going to be out for most of today and don't want our community (or your flists!) spammed.

That's a relief. Here I was blaming my phone for messing with my LJ settings again.

Nope, it was LJ with their house out of order again ... ;)

It seems to be slowing down again, but I'm going to give it at least a day before switching them back, especially since I'll be out tonight at a concert with no way to monitor my comms.

I saw the spam! IMO you needed to do what you did, Dawn. :/

Yes, I hope LJ is getting their act together. The site was super-slow this morning as well, which I attributed to either the spammers clogging the pipes--I was seeing posts about comms going on moderated on the front page of LJ as well, so it was widespread--or mods across the site trying to delete and tinker with settings en masse.

It seems to have slowed, but I had the same thought before another wave of spam triggered me to put the comm on moderated status, since I will be out all night tonight.
