Could someone who knows Chinese check the content of the diary
entries?<br />

By the way, I assume you mean "banned" (blocked from
participation), rather than "band" (group of people). If the
latter is what you meant, what do you want to get for the group of
people?<br />

it's almost certainly link spam, but you're right, we should have<br />
a chinese speaking moderator review and handle this if that's at<br />
all possible, and talk-us is perhaps not the best place for such<br />
a request.<br />
<br />
i'm not sure banning is very practical as they can always create<br />
another account to blog spam from. but maybe we can get some<br />
rate limiting built into the diary system as i can think of no valid<br />
reason to post 50 diary entries an hour.<br />
