spam

As Lift gets more visibility a bit more spam shows up. We had an abusive blog post for gold farmers, get automated spam via most of the site forms, and this morning some of you received unsolicited emails from a company called World Television.

I quickly contacted them and this should now have stopped. We will investigate what happened and raise the security in the future. Sorry for the inconvenience and please let us know about spam you might get via Lift so we can remove it.

Update: I forgot to mention there is of course no way to contact all lift participants in one email. The way the previous mailing worked was that, from the participants list, the names were grabbed by an intern who used Google to find emails. So we can't do anything except make the sender realize this is completely unproductive. In between I received a formal apology from World Television.
