The Open Guide to London: the free London guide

What this page is for

This page is for keeping a record of any operations done by administrators. The primary use being a way of recording that a page has been deleted, including a spammer's IP address etc.

Note that blocking IP addresses is becoming increasingly useless, as they are nearly always spoofed.

Leaving the page "Reasons to go to London" unmoderated in case the person who has started their thought train comes back.

Somebody presumably from lynku.com created a page "Shop_Sales_In_London", which I have removed. There is now a new section "Shopping Websites" in Category Shopping which links to them.

The December 2006 hackfest included upgrading London to the latest openguides version. thank you Earle :). We now have node moderation that we can turn on when we need it.

Also, as is apparent from this log, is how long it has been since I have been involved in the daily battle with the spammers. A search for overflow shows how many spurious "Some grammatical corrections" pages there now are in the guide.

(IvorW) Lots of random pages with "Some Grammatical Corrections" - wide range of IP addresses, all non-edits, perhaps incorrectly escaping some chars. I'm going to delete them and keep the record here.
