official word on what's up with posts being moderated on all comms ever

"As part of a measure to prevent rampant spam entries, this feature was turned on for older communities that were set to open membership and unrestricted posting. I am sorry for the inconvenience this has caused you. (Members of communities without active maintainers may contact support for assistance.)"

This is what an lj staffer told me when I asked them why all my comms were set to whitelist moderated posting this past weekend.

Pass the word, change the settings back in your own comms, leave support requests for lj to do something about the mess they've made for all comm users everywhere.

Now I'm curious: anyone seen a spam post on a comm this year? I haven't seen one in more than a year, probably two, even.
