10k down and miles to go
Well.The easiest part of deleting the spam and spambots has been completed: over 10 000 spam reviews and comments have been deleted. I dearly wish that it was as simple as deleting the spam account and everything would go with it, but the comments weren't even visible on the profiles of the associated accounts. I have spent far longer than I ever expected going line by line through the database.
I cannot say for certain that I deleted all of them, as there were a few that I could not tell if they were true spam or just generic reviews. Please let me know if you have any remaining spam comments or reviews.
The next step is the more difficult task of deleting spam stories and the accounts that posted them. I've kept a list of the accounts associated with the deleted spam, so I have a starting point at the very least. I do hope it won't take as long as step one did, but I cannot say for certain.
The other thing is a mod-call. Are any of the old moderators still checking in, or do I need to find some new ones?

I've been the only active moderator for many years now. I've actually trying contacting you multiple times through the Tumblr blog you set up for TONFA, but never got a reply.

oh dear, I'm so sorry. apparently when I stopped actively logging in to that account it stopped sending me emails to let me know someone had sent a message. thanks tumblr :/
I need to set up a better method of contact, I think.

Hi I'm not really sure where you like bugs to be reported but when doing an advanced search; the completed check box, when checked, still included uncompleted submissions.

Thanks for letting me know, lovefantasystuff. I've (hopefully) fixed it, as it looks like it's working for me. Until I manage to find a more reliable way of contact, the comments on news posts works just fine.

If you need some new moderators, I would happy to be one. I love this site and it's writers. If you need help with anything just contacted me and I will be willing to help. My email should be in my profile.

hah. one bug down, many more to go. That said, it is bedtime now and I will get back to tackling spam accounts on the morrow.
