WP 'Report Spam' page contaminated?

    Not sure how else to get Staff attention, so I’ll put this here.

    On this page:

    http://en.wordpress.com/report-spam/

    Instead of seeing the usual form, I see a page full of text, beginning with…..

    We’re All Mad Here

    Lexicography, as I may have mentioned, is a very solitary job, and as such, it generally draws the type of person who is delighted to work in near isolation for years on end and in silence so deep it makes monks fidgety. The lexicographer requires only the corpora, the pinks, the project. The only triumphant score that accompanies their work is the mouth-breathing drone of the HVAC system punctuated occasionally by a borborygmus rumble from the water cooler. From this quiet, white egg of industriousness hatches a rara avis in pasteboard plumage: a dictionary.

    This is a conveniently trumped-up mythology. True, there is an overwhelming amount of isolation and quiet on the second floor of our office. But look closely at the egg: it is riddled with hairline cracks, its sticky insides only held intact by the taut, thin membrane under the shell. It has been slowly, softly battered, beaten with a million question marks: your egg has been done in by answering editorial correspondence.

    …. and continuing for several more paragraphs.

    Yes, I saw exactly the same thing.

    Back to normal. If this was another one of WP’s little jokes, I’d suggest they find new comedy writers.

  • Sorry, we’ll look into this.

    Looks like a mix-up, not necessarily spam.

    Thanks for this report btw! The form should be fixed now. Note that you may need to refresh the page to see the latest version.

    Pretty sure it wasn’t spam. :) Someone will help take a closer look at it tomorrow.
