Terrible new Myspace feature

Did you know that when Myspace Tom sends out his bulletins, he has two different sets - one for the regular users, and one for the bands? So if he happened to send something out that might raise eyebrows in security circles (but it only went out to musicians), you'd need to make sure it went to someone with a foot in both camps. Someone that rants about security and also dabbles in music?

Oh my. Wherever would I find one of those?....



....lol.

Check this out - Myspace are going to allow band profiles with more than 10,000 friends to approve friend requests automatically. If someone has that feature enabled, they'll probably have comments moderation switched off too, right? Why would you save time approving friends only to wade through hundreds of "OMFG I LOVE YOU SIGN MY ALBUM" type messages?

The answer is, of course, you wouldn't.

This is the worst idea I've seen come from Myspace yet - it opens the door to a flood of profile spam on the most popular pages and can only result in badness for all. Infection links, dating ads, viagra sales - you name it, you're going to see it. Hey, Angry Comic Book guy, can I get your opinion on this one?
