maintaining any reasonably popular web property is a constant battle of striking down spammers, scammers, and hackers. their basic server code might keep running for months, but unless their engineering teams have been doing some truly magical work up until now the quality of the content is going to rapidly degrade if there isn't active intervention to keep the bad actors suppressed.
