Spam collections
Hundreds of new collections have been made in the last few hours, all consisting of a single film and all with seemingly random letters for titles.
Re: Spam collections
Thanks for alerting us to those -- I don't know what these spammers get out of doing things like that, but it's been cleaned up, and we've made a bug report to better alert us to (and protect us from) nonsense like that in the future.

Probably someone testing his bot programming skills. You might want to add captcha verification when creating new collections.
Re: Spam collections
Fair enough, but do you really make that many collections regularly? For me it's once in awhile, a captcha wouldn't bother me.

Re: Spam collections
I think it is safe to say that there are many more frequent-real-collection-starters than there are spam-collection-starters. I'm doing something in Collections nearly every day and this was the first mass-spamming I can remember. I can't even think of any other spam one-offs off the top of my head.
