Security and privacy

One way to test if your site has been the target of profile spammers is to use Google (or the search engine of your choice) to do a site specific search on your own site for the likely words, i.e. t e e n, v 1 agr a etc etc). I ended up changing the size of one of the profile fields to 1 character so they could poke in whatever they wanted but it got silently thrown away. It gave me a certain bizzarre pleasure in the idea of these folks putting up their lurid links, clicking save and the system silently just discarded it.
