I've started another thread on this by accident. Sorry. Just heard from Matt that they are going to clean this up and will be stopping open registration on the Codex, since those registered on the forums and such don't need a separate login, which may help prevent some of the spammers. Not sure how it works behind the scenes, but this is a great move. <br>
<br>Thanks!<br><br>Lorelle<br>

Is there some latency here?<br>
The first 3 I checked had already been deleted.<br>

Some of the pages in the search results do appear to have already been deleted. Some more are being deleted just now. I'm unclear as to how quickly the search page updates, but am thinking it's not very.<br>
<br>
I think if you drop in around the page 300-400 mark you'd definitely find some.<br>
<br>
As for your other point, if there's a database way to selectively remove the spam, that's brilliant, otherwise it'd be a manual effort (not impossible, we scrubbed hundreds when the spam first hit). It has been headed off - anti spam measures were put in place a few weeks back - the ones in this result set pre-date those measures.<br>
