1% blows it for 99% of Post Secret app users

would you believe...an app has become TOO POPULAR??!

i don't know if this is true, or real, or neither, but i just read Frank Warren's post on his POST SECRET blog.  he states:
It pains me to announce that the PostSecret App is now closed. In some ways, this is because of its success. It reached the top-selling spot in the App Store and users shared over 2 million creative secrets.

Like the PostSecret Blog, the App was designed so each secret was absolutely anonymous. Unfortunately, that absolute anonymity made it very challenging to permanently remove determined users with malicious intent.  99% of the secrets created were in the spirit of PostSecret. Unfortunately, the scale of secrets was so large that even 1% of bad content was overwhelming for our dedicated team of volunteer moderators who worked 24 hours a day 7 days a week removing content that was not just pornographic but also gruesome and at times threatening
.
and so i ask, dear app programmer/coder types, please, isn't there a way to fix this? not to fix the evil 1%, but to make it easier for the dedicated team of Post Secret moderators?

maybe not.  but thanks, Frank, for trying to make it work!!!
