BikeHi, I just found out something really annoying. Some spam idiot registered with a typical email address (67fbi7f@iu76876.com or something). Likely he would return soon and create a splog, for now he was marked as being just a user, on the main blog.
I marked him as spammer in the WPMU-admin backend and next thing, the entire main blog is unaccessible, including WPMU backend. Actually this makes some sense as blocking the blog of a user saves from having to do that manually, but it is less usable when that user is on the main blog.
I had to go in to PHPmyAdmin to fix it: deleting the users from there did not help.
For those who get the same problem, to fix it:
Go to wp-blogs table, open blog ID 1, and reset the 'spam' from '1' to '0' and all was well.
Of course this is very annoying, and though I won't do it again, is there another way to mark a main blog user as spammer?
Or at least when they are connected to blog-id 1, that that blog is not automagically flagged as spam and unaccessible when spam-flagging a user?
I can just delete the user and/or blog, but somehow when marked as spam, at least those addresses cannot be used again.
Cheers Bike
