WordPress MU

Monitor Sitewide feed, delete as appropriate.

Add in a modification/hack to get an email on each signup, delete as appropriate.

Can someone share how these splogs are handled by admins of larger sites if there is no approval system in place?

Deleteing them when they come into existance. Your Site Admin -> blogs page allows you to list your blog in order of when they were last updated. That's what I use. That and the check up above as luna noted.

Not sure why you think after only 8 hours you know what's needed most around here when you seem to be having an issue with finding the search sticky though.

Well, thanks I guess, nice to meet you too. Actually I have been around here many times for a year or so, reading all forums and posts, sticky or not, just signed up this week. But maybe to you, people who do not sign up do not exist.

I guess if a kid comes up to you and asks if the world is round, you tell them to search the older literature for it. I rather have some practical advice reflecting the current situation, especially as this is obviously an issue for many people (the registration, not the roundness of the earth). But you could have known that if you had used the search function yourself.

I did not memorize all threads I red past year, though I search often. I humbly apologize if I asked you some basic practical advice -that had not been asked before like this and if it was might have changed recently- that might have been mentioned in one of many thousands threads by you.

The simplest solution i found

Open your
wp-signup.php

And only put this
<?php
Header("Location: http://your.com/blog/");
?>

Somewhere deep in the WPMU-Code there must be a function that sends out the activation e-mail. Why not change that user email to your own email? If you are fine with that new blog click on the activation link, if not ignore it. If approved the new user can request a new password via "forgot password function".

And if your blog gets popular, do you want hundreds of emails a day?

What about delays, or if you're out of town?

I concur that edit only works for small setups. :)

I'm a small setup and I'd love to know how to do that. :)
