Spam-free at last?

We’ve had a severe problem of spammers for several months now on UnionBook which has inhibited growth and left a bad taste in everyone’s mouth.

We’ve tried everything — installing and configuring plugins, calling on the help of the one senior Elgg programmer who’s worked with us before, posted online messages to the Elgg community, written directly to the the authors of the Elgg software, tried to recruit a freelancer who knows Elgg from the elance site, tried to tweak the software ourselves, etc, etc.

Nothing has worked.

However, finally, we have an Elgg programmer on board who is willing to help.  So let’s hope we’re now seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and can get a handle on this problem so that we can move on.
