Dear Readers,

A comment that is objectionable in every way imaginable was added to one of the chapters of 'God Save the Queen'.

Rest assured, neither Persephone or I support prostitution, whether it be legal, illegal or dressed up as an escort service. This comment is objectionable in every way imaginable.

What is even worse in my mind is that this web site and a story Persephone and I have labored away at is now being used to advertise 'Escorts,' which is legalized prostitution. I am no prude and I expect I may be offending some people here, but I frankly don't give a D____ in this case. A whore by any other name is still a whore.

I have requested that Erin pull it immediately. I hope she also bans the pimp who posted it.

My apologies to those who were offended by the pimp's comment. There will be no apologies for my indignation.

Spamers are the worst slime imaginable

Okay killers and rapists are far worse but that still puts them pretty low.

You are right to be outraged.

I am sure Erin is too.

There must be a flaw in Drupal they have exploited. Thus one of the reasons behind the gradual shift of BC to a newer, more secure version I imagine.

I suspect we might have to put up with captcha for a while. That's one thing the zombie PCs can't get past.

P.S. Haven't read part two of God Save the Queen but part one was a great start IMHO. Please don't let the bastards discourage you two.

Don't believe it. CAPTCHA

Don't believe it. CAPTCHA can be broken - there's even a guy out there who developed a 'captcha' tester for you to run on your site to see how easily it could be read.

I've found that the ones that can't be figured out - well, I couldn't figure them out either, which made it worthless. Then they had an audio thing, and rather than sounding out the letters, it tried to pronounce the words. NOT helpful when the syllables are mangled beyond recognition.
