Spammed student work. I hope few teachers run into this problem, but let me just say that if a student's site is attacked by spammers, the openness we prize quickly becomes hugely frustrating for the student, both because of the terrible content of the spam and the relentlessness of the attack. We need to choose software as carefully as we can, adjust its security wisely, work with IT on any other recautions that are available, and have a plan for responding if there is an attack. [0 & P]
