[Deptheads] Fwd: Is there an issue with Orc Con next year?

[Tanya Aldrich]

Since I've fixed all the display issues they were causing with the approval page I'm not looking at this as a priority. I'm going to work on ways to stop spam bot account generation at some point soon and see if that slows things down. I'm trying to avoid anything in the event submission that would annoy our GMs.

Unfortunately, the past month I've been plagued with illness (both mine and James'), so little has been done to the site [made some progress on the latest photo albums and worked on the events page]. Eric is aware of the issues I'm having, but we haven't found any cost effective solutions. The sad statement is that I would probably be healthier and have more time to work on the site if I had a full time job.

I've been refusing them, and they seem to not be reusing the same accounts for multiple attempts... not sure how they think these spam ads are even going to be seen.

I need to know if the issue is department specific before I dig more. So, approve and tell me you approved. For those departments with nothing legit to approve see below.

Or do the event updates come later (I'm comparing it with my local con Dundracon which already has ton of info for their events on the same weekend.)
