UberDesi.com spammed (Update)

TAGS: None

Update: We had to switch themes in WordPress temporarily to deal with this issue.


As regular readers would know, UberDesi.com provides Uber Stories, a feature for our reader to report on stories they come across with their own witty commentary.
Now that feature has been hijacked by some spammers and as a result our front page Uber Stories section is filled with porn spam. We are working on eliminating this problem and improving the Uber News section to reduce spam posting. Until then we apologize for the crappy porn links on our front page. Death to spammers!

Looks like you are one of our regular visitors. Here is our RSS feed, just another way to keep up with the new posts.

  • Hey Karthik, I totally understand.

    I barely even blog (on a separate, non-blogspot, family etc only blog), but I change my WordPress Theme more often than I post a message. Sigh.

    In any case, Content is King - layout mattereth not.
  • Ashoe,

    The simplistic WP default template looks default. A lot of other sites use it and we would like to be a little different.

    Besides, I get tired of the way UD looks every couple of months and start changing it, so maybe the next theme will be something you might like.

    Now let's get back to Alba Vs. Biel.
  • Sorry people,

    Long weekends and travel to exotic locations means crappy internet access at the hotel.

    The thing was I came up with a quick and dirty method of posting the news stories with the idea that I would rework it in the near future and you know how that goes...

    Del.icio.us bookmarking sounds like a very good option, I should research it.

    And thanks for the patience.
  • Karthik handles that stuff. Just speaking from my knowledge on all things Karthik :-)
  • Sigh. You're TRYING to chase away this loyal new reader, aren't you?
  • Ashoe,
    Fear not. Our dinchak look will be back soon :-)
  • Heck - I VASTLY prefer the WP look anyway :p
  • Guess you could drop it then.

    Del.icio.us bookmarking works better...you could ask readers to add a 'uberdesi' tag to share links.
  • Patrix,
    We dont maintain stats for uber stories. That is part of the problem. It was simplistic and obviously that's not working.
  • Holy shit! Don't tell me you are giving Google juice to all that porn. BTW do you track how many clicks those 'news stories' get?
