Guestbooks are now on moderated status.


It's sad that porn perverts and spammers don't respect a site on Christian spirituality, but they don't!


For months now, they have been posting spam and porn links on the Shalom Place guestbooks and Add-a-link pages. The Prayer Request feature has also been plagued with some truly bizarre requests by very paranoid people.

My response has been to download and edit the page, then upload again. This has become a daily routine, however, with the trash to gold ratio going up each week. No more. I've changed the forms so they no longer point to the guestbook cgi scripts, but to the FormMail one, where they are processed and sent to my email address. I will review them and then publish the appropriate requests. Not much more work for me, and maybe it will discourage some from coming around to trash these services.
