Ning Spam

My apologies for the spam you may have received from the now-banned Ning spambot account. Fortunately, James noticed the spam right away and began cleaning everything up. A big Thank You to James for catching the spammer in the act!

This is one of the risks we take by having a wide-open network. We leave ourselves open to attacks from not only from our welcome critics but also from unwelcome malicious spammers. I know that you all value this openness, and I believe most (if not all) of you are willing to deal with the nuisance of the spam in exchange for an open social network free of censorship. Because of that, I will be ignoring the advice from Ning to change to moderated membership. Thank you for your understanding!
