Perl/Archive guru needed

[kelliem]

Any of you wonderful people familiar with Perl and possibly the archive software that most fanfiction archives are using these days who could give a hand to an archive mod who's having trouble with comment spam on an archive? The person who normally helps is not responding and we're getting desperate.

I assume you're talking about C&GM? Some good news for a change: As far as I'm concerned, it seems to have stopped. I haven't received any new spam in 24 hours. Well, apart from the odd penis enlargement/Viagra/replica watches one. And I can tell you, I've never been so happy before to see those! :-D

Yeah, C&GM is the issue. I'm glad your problem has at least temporarily abated but we really need to find someone who can help solve it permanently.

"Temporarily" is the key word. It started again yesterday and now I'm getting like 12-15 an hour! :-( Have you found any solutions yet?

Poor bluster! This is not what you want to deal with when you run an archive! Say hello to her for me and pass on my condolences, please.
