For a couple of years now, Real Live Preacher has been running his blog on a platform called Drupal.  With a sign in and an area to chat, the blog has become a hangout and safe haven. 

RLP found 3 thousand visitors a day also brought problems all bloggers face.  50 thousand pieces of spam are lying in his archives. 
Just when the platform started to buckle, a tech company from Australia stepped in.  The company, named Jethro, are experts on the Drupal platform.  They came up with a great idea.

I know there’s 3,000 odd of you readers on any given day, and there’s over 1,000 of you who have created user accounts. The way I figure it is if even half of those people, say 500, could delete 100 spam comments each they would all be gone.
So here’s the plan.

If you want to help, and that’s a big if, only if you can spare maybe half an hour of your time, then create an account and add a comment here with your user name (or existing user name) offering to help.
I will give you access to delete comments, and some easy instructions. As a bonus, you will gain access to the rlp subscription area for a period as well. You will be known as the “rlp antispam squad”.

If you want to go nuts, I will even ask the preacher to formally recognize the person who deletes the most spam comments.

Thanks for helping - and being part of this community. Personally, I see this like sweeping up the playground in your street after vandals have trashed it. That’s what a community does.

Merry Christmas RLP, RLP readers and Jethro guys!
P.S. Because of RLP readers, people that install water purification systems in the Dominican Republic, are going to get clean water for themselves too.
