On 2013 October 27, Sarkarverse faced a serious spam attack. More than 100 new accounts were created to post inappropriate articles with external links. All 100+ accounts were quickly blocked, and new account creation in Sarkarverse was temporarily disabled. Account creation was re-enabled on October 28 after imposing various spam counter-measures. However, within days the spam accounts were cropping up again, less in number but still a nuisance. On November 2, a long-term decision was taken to disable new account creation except by [mailto:admin@sarkarverse.org?subject=AccountCreation direct request]. This was deemed to be the most efficient means of preventing spam with minimal inconvenience for well-intentioned editors, both old and new. | On 2013 October 27, Sarkarverse faced a serious spam attack.
