Hi Eric,
I had someone make a spam advertisement using the recipe section. I made it unavailable, but the delete receipe doesn't seem to be working. Also, all the recipes seem to be loading very slow. Can you delete and check on please.
Thanks

    That's a new one. I found a bunch of it, and deleted them all. I'm not positive but I think it was having trouble deleting it on the page there because the user had already been removed, and so it was having trouble putting all the info together. I'll look at that more, and also see if I can auto-detect that sort of thing better too.

    I'll also see what I can do about speeding those pages up. You've got a ton of recipes in the system -- which is awesome!

    I've tightened the spam account detection to better find the types of accounts that were leaving recipe spam and also silently put up a "you must have placed an order to add a new recipe" requirement to catch those that still get through.
