Actually, @Shortcake got back to me two days ago and took care of the spam - or so we thought. I'm sending another message now since we're getting more spam.
I'm wondering if an email was sent out as part of the updates that @ernest and @admin are doing to kbin, which might have grabbed the mods attention here. The lack of email notifications makes it hard to keep up, I'm thinking.
I'm actually happy to give a vote of confidence in @Shortcake who did a great job moderating this magazine in the beginning.
If that individual would just return to checking this magazine more frequently, I'm happy to leave things as-is.
But if that's not possible, hopefully Shortcake will appoint someone as a third mod soon so this magazine can get cleaned up. (Speak of - any volunteers?)
