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.

Re: Spam collections
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.
