Blog Changes!
The Russell Brand show was one of a handful of 大象传媒 programmes to get a blog as part of a trial into how blogs could be used at the 大象传媒. During trials, it's pretty much inevitable that we run into gremlins. Finding and fixing these gremlins is how we go about developing robust services for the website.
The biggest problem we've had to overcome has been defending ourselves from spam attacks. Like email addresses and email software, most blog software (not just the 大象传媒) gets bombarded with huge amounts of spam and junk comments. These spam messages sometimes overwhelm and clog up the system, causing many of the errors that you have had to deal with and reported to us.
What are we doing about it? Well, in April, you'll see some changes. You'll now have to log in. I know. Logging in takes a moment more of your time. But we have to stand together to beat the spammers - and the best way to do that is to lock them out and give out keys only to our listeners and website users.
Thanks for your patience and loyalty. Pin Pin!
