PURL Spam
The spam problem on the OCLC PURL server has been resolved.
A new PURL server has been put into service.Deleting what we though were spam. We added a disclaimer about PURLS on the first page.53674 PURLS were deleted along with 95 user ids.PURLS has now change, to request a user id you will need to request it from the System Administrator (me for now).Users that have an existing USER ID should be able to create PURLS, DOMAIN, GROUPS etc.Don't know if I got all we think we're spam, but if any are found let me know, also any USER ID that should not have been deleted and was, let me know.Tom DehnPURLS
